Between the crap about adair and mork it's amazing people still frequent
this ng. The days of people arguing about feed line length versus swr
seems like a distant memory. Are there any old timers here who want to
try and turn the tide?

Hello Jim (this group is a sewer)

I'm still here, and on 11 meters ssb.

I'm about to do the c131 mod to my kenwood ts870.

Are you on the air now?

Not yet Steve as I have to figure out where to mount the JoGunn 5+5 now
that I put a second story on the house. A friend gave me a 40' tower but
its difficult to position it as you know its quite crowded here on the
island and neighbors are close.

Copy that. Perhaps start with a ground plane or dipole first to get a feel
for things, I'm certainly learning from my mistakes with antenna placement
but that **** runs into money.

I'd be golden -without- the powerline noise, and the electric company has
been fairly accommodating with attempts to repair it, no glory.

So now I'm running 300' of lmr-400 to the south building, to get away from
the static.

If I had to do it over again I'd start with a dipole or plane, fwiw. Those
are easier to move doncha know.

ps. 2510 still strong.

Any conditions on 10/11 meters?

Any conditions on 10/11 meters?

I heard nothing but locals on 10/11.
20 and 40 were another story!

Even a general ticket will get you most of HF...but some folks like it in one place only.
Ain't nothing wrong with that...

I can't block the assholes because they keep changing stuff in their addys.
I wish they would stop it already. I don't want to hear their bullsh!t.
I find myself peeking in and marking the NG as read.

Nice site Sharkie. Thanks. I'm more particular to the air side of
defense as the family has been building planes since the '30's. Last
plane was the F14D Super Tomcat. Its retired now so I've moved on to
state of the art telecomm's.

Hello Scott in Baltimo

I have keep an eye on the conditions as well, and Iam not hearing
anything except some scattered skip out the Central and South America
areas.

The experts are also befuttled asking were is the skip in sun spot cycle
24 is. I have called then a few times but eventually get hung up on!
They must not shot skip, or want to get their knee's in the brezze?

As I tune across the bands I am hearing a noisy power line down our dirt
road, and the boys won't fix it. So I will have to fix it.

20, 40, and 80 have and some local traffic but not much. I was tuning in
on 12 meters and thought I heard a FM station out there.... more listening

Keep the goof balls out of the news group is a easy as turning your beam
to get rid the goof balls on the radio, and even takes less times. I
just filter them out, takes about 15 seconds. And ya get good knowing
who they are so even becomes esiser.
