[K3PZN-List] CB Net Results

[Philip Karras]

Travers,

Wow, Glad you heard at least one of us!  Mt set-up is
an R5 antenna at 15 feet (This is a Ham antenna for 20
- 10 meters, and that's why I picked 40/35/30 since
those freqs - I think - are closer to the 10 m band
than the lower freqs are.) The rig I believe is an
older GE AM/SSB rig that as I said befre I picked up
for less than $5 at a ham fest.

I tried to call Jim on the repeater so we could talk
about what we were trying, but he didn't show there.

Which channel(s) did you hear me on?

Good-luck on your exam tonight & wish I could be
there, do well & pass!
