[nrv-hams] Thanks to Carter for Help with PL-259 Connectors

[Don Cunningham]

I want to thank Carter for fixing my PL-259 connectors. I called him about
4:30 p.m. and he was at my house within an hour to solder two PL-259
connectors to my antenna coax. He also pointed out my temporary loop at the
bottom of the ladder line (to keep the connection off the ground) was
apparently making it difficult to tune the G5RV antenna.

 

I was able to monitor several nets on 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters. One was
from Germany and another was from Croatia. Lots of Spanish conversations and
at least one in Arabic. I did make one DX with a HAM in Riverside, CA, on 20
meters. 

 

New problem: Whenever I transmit, the touch-sensitive lamps in our bedroom
turn on. I guess that I will need to purchase new lamps with switches for
our bedroom to prevent further complaints from my wife.

 

Regards,

 

Don "Doc" Cunningham
