Hi Frank,

I was mobile about 5 minutes from the shack, you were loud and clear in Tonopah. I gave a couple calls just after 0800, but no luck. How is your location for noise? Since we're relatively close, I'm sure you can hear me on 630m, and 2200m as well when I'm on. Sure would like to try 1750m with someone 'local'.  I'll be testing on 8 khz in the next couple weeks or so, any chance you can listen down that low?

Greetings from Tucson.  I could hear Ed (IZJ) and OWR but sigs were just above the noise (S3) here.  I gave one call but didn't think anyone would hear me. Maybe 80M propagation will improve next time.

Hi everyone.


It was a noisy Sunday morning on 3927Khz at 0800.


Ed, W6IZJ checked in with QSB and hung in there.


Dave WD4PLI says he will join us next Saturday the 10th


of September.


Its a beginning.  Please join us with your thoughts and


observations.


Exciting times below the broadcast band with 137Khz and 500Khz
lighting up shortly.


I was toying with putting my active whip on my SDR and feeding
it into the web so anyone could see what I see here at my
remote Creston, California location.


However, it looks like with WSPR its already been done.


Currently I am working on getting my active whip up and located in a
low noise environment.  


Please share your activities with us and join us on the Sunday net.


73,


Jerry 'OWR'
