[PPRAANet] TR-35 QRP Rig Buzzed by F-35's

[Paul Signorelli]

    My TR-35 was just buzzed by 4  F-35's.

  i was on 20 meters when  4   F-35's  made about 5 low altitude passes over the Air Force Academy (and my house) for a tribute.
    The single engine stealth jet makes so much noise i had to shut down and go inside to find my binoc's. i should have had my noise cancelling headphones on.
   The engine noise has a little screech to it and i thought they were Wart Hogs at first.

  i finished my new QRP Guys Mini Keyer testing and made the following Q's
with my TR-35 on a 10 foot whip:
W5KID Lee LA, (on board the USS Kid),
KU7Y Ron ID,
W0MS Mike AR,
N5JO  Mike TX,
K5MUG Cary TX,
W5NDS Rod TX.

Then it started to rain w/Thunder Clouds, Snow coming tonight.
