Dammit, I've got to start paying better attention to 6m late afternoon/evening. Maybe I can make it that far south on my lowly Moxon. Worth a try anyway.

Nice ones Gary!!

Good to talk to you this morning, no matter how short it was.

I really need to make that 6m dipole out of copper pipe and a plastic T connector lol. Just one of the last things my Elmer and I talked about before he passed in May of 2022... Never made a 6m QSO in my life but there is always a first time for everything.

My first experience with Aurora-E bouncing this evening. Interesting stuff. Distorted signals but readable. Worked a few US stations once I figured out WTH was happening. No wonder it's called "Magic".

    So I have a cobra 138xlr and the meter dose not work... It dose not key up and signal dose not work.... It is not stuck it the meter moves freely. now wires are resoldered on both ends...So now that do I look at. Could it be a diode or a transistor?
