well, it has been a few months since I posted anything new here, so I thought I would pop in and catch everyone up on my activities.
Been trying to get my CW skills back up to speed, since I spent a LOT of time using PSK-31 this last year. I will be doing CW during field day for the club, and want to beat my score from last year.
Been making some good contacts on 10m, with all the Sporadic-E openings. The best contact I have made so far is into Japan, with je1let. Was really surprised to hear him, and chat with him. Not sure if it was a Sporadic-E opening or something else, but it was really cool to work him on 10m.
Been doing some mobile operations as well, and now have the Kenwood TS-440 in the pickup truck.I am using a 102' steel whip for 10m and a pro-am mag-mount for 20m. My best shot from the truck so far has been with DL2DXU, in CW on 20m . caught him before the pileup started HIHI
Other than that, just winding down the school year with the kids. That is always a fun time. 73's Don
