[MRCA] RE :Alex Marine Mobile

[Lou Ribble]

I was able to copy k2AJR Q-5 on 40 meters 7296 USB even with the AM carrier.
40 meters seems to work better for the distances we are communicating. We
need to find a better frequency, since the AM'ers evidently can't hear us or
perhaps they were just "LIDS". I also heard K1JHM through the heterodyne and
also N3FRQ. I personally like the idea of 40 meter. My dipole is fed with
ladder line so I can go any where 10-80 meters with my PRC 174S without
problems. Those of you who are running coax fed dipoles may not be able to
QSY without problems. I know that I am late responding to the comments of
Saturdays M & S net but my internet service was down since Thursday.
Congratulations to Alex for checking in pedestrian marine mobile.

Great signals today... all stations?were Q5, even KB3SBC running 5 watts.
?
For those who couldn't copy me,?I was operating the PRC1099A putting 20W
into the 9' whip antenna.? The operating location was the?Long Island Sound,
aboard the "John H." Cross Sound Ferry.? Departed Orient Point, NY at 12:00
ET... arrived New London, CT at 1:20 ET.? I was wearing the transceiver on
my back with no drag wire counterpoise due to safety concerns about other
passengers tripping on it.? I signed my call "marine mobile" but I don't
know if?I should have signed "marine mobile", or "pedestrian mobile", or
maybe even "pedestrian marine".? I do know this... my signal got out.
?
After the net, several stations went up to 40 meters and I was able to work
both N3FRQ and K3OP /P.? From my location, singals were stronger on 40M than
60M, especially KB3SBC.? After that, I made several contacts on 17 meters
with stations in? Ft Lauderdale FL, Nashville TN, Sag Harbor NY, and even
briefly with KB0SFP out in Missouri?just before the ferry docked.
?
Today was a good day.

That would imply walking on water. I think that's been tried already,
although walking on the Hudson River isn't all that hard with all the
gunk in the water.
