[Wswss] Sunday 12/3/2006 23cm Activity

[Leonard Gwinn]

Good morning all,  Len  WA6KLK   CM89hi here.

Listened and transmited with the antenna at about 142 degrees from 0930 
to 0955 this morning on 1296.100 cw.  About 0940 plus and minus a few 
minutes was hearing weak cw from the south on that heading--142 
degrees---LA, Anahiem, San Diego--but coukl not pull anthing thru.  
Someone there tho.  Jim--AF6O--sorry I did not get the antenna over to 
you this morning.  That is about 135 degrees from here I think.  For 
those interested, I run about 80 watts to the antenna, a ten foot dish.  
I am on a 2600 foot ridge five miles due south of Willits, CA.  Have a 
good shot to the south land,  just have to add about 150 to 200 miles 
more from W6PQLs and NA6XXs locations.  ie, I am along Highway 101 north 
north west of Ukiah Ca.  Have worked Ralph a few times on this band but 
that is farthest extent south.  Have also done N6VMO in Lompoc.  altho 
many years ago hear a San Diego station when pointed about due south 
over the ocean and he was pointed out to sea.  Think that was a fog bank 
bounce.

Will be on tuesday night and maybe a few other nights and try for most 
of next weekend if I can.

Thanks all, looking forward to working you !!
