New Zealand on 17 meters

[fasteddy]

Just made a contact with ZL1AMO, Ron in Auckland NZ. Nice fella to visit with. I went to his webste, and was impressed with all the DX awards he has won. He gave me a 5/5 report, and I was barefoot at 100 watts.Great fun

Yeah and more than SWL'ers want to know.You seem to hang on 17m A LOT.I now have the tribander back in action for 10-15-20m and an inverted L for 80m mainly but it will tune to any band.Even have the longwire still up but I think the L works better on HF.We will have to try a contact again sometime.The last times were less than great.

Well guys, I don't really have a certain freq on 17 that I hang out on. It is such a small band anyway. 18.130 seems to be a freq that is used for general calls tho. I do hang out on 14.300 a lot tho, Maritime Mobile service net, and check in pretty frequently.
Stu, tune to 3.989 on thurs eves at 8 PM Mountain and give a listen. I am net control for the Columbine net. I am duckingout next thurs (9/1) to go to my wifes graduation, shes an RN now, WHOPPPPPPEEEEEE
