I heard JJ around the first part of this past week on channel 37 LSB, and he was peaking 30+ into my QTH here in western NC. Heard him talk to a station in eastern NC, so I thought I might have a good chance to make contact. JJ never heard me. My transmit must have been jumping right over him...

I heard you that evening talking to 3RCA032 in Brazil on the back side of my beam. Was going to point it your way, but would have probably lost you.

It's the same outfit. DNJ sells under various business names.

Walmart has the Vector and 2016 in stock. Sold by DNJ.

Been having some good conditions here in Western, NC foothills. My longest DX contact yet beaming east came yesterday. Operator name, Luca, 257 AlphaTango Zero from division 257, Rodriguez Island, in the Indian Ocean. Rodriguez Island is just over 500 miles east of Reunion Island. Talked to a...

Heads up if you buy a Penetrator, and it will not tune. Over at DX Engineering reviews, a reviewer(Chris) posted pictures four days ago that the SO-239 is assembled wrong from the factory. https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/hgn-spt-500

Not heard that one yet...congrats. Two Echo Kilo members from Cape Town, South Africa have been booming in here to western NC just about every day around 1:00 PM EST.. Talked to both of them many times. 44EK150 – Zain | QSL Manager 1EK010 44EK786 – Nasri

Sorry to hear that. The east side of Canada was doing very good here into NC. Also, I could hear them talking to the same contacts in deep western Europe that I had QSO's with too. I heard and talked to many Quebec and Newfoundland stations. Maybe conditions will get better on the west side!

A few locals around here have the Lincoln 2+, and they sound excellent to me on SSB. I don't use speakers on my radios. Always use headphones.

Same here! They sound good on my two different radios.

Crazy conditions. Europe just all of a sudden popped in NC, and Will on the Hill in Yorkshire, England was talking to three of us here in NC. The two other stations in NC were 127 miles and 118 miles from me as the crow flies, and I had them both loud and clear. All three NC stations had...

Is it a two tube or one tube? Eventually, I will own a good and clean tube amp, but for now I am upgrading antenna system which has been working out great.

Awesome DX for me today from western NC! Talked to Cape Town South Africa to a couple different people. Then, the Marshall Islands came booming in, when I had my four element Yagi pointing Southeast. Marshall Islands is Southwest of me short path, so I don't know if it was long path or what...

SOS when the blue is running the country...tax and spend.

Good one and congrats! I talked to a Kilo Papa member in Doha, Qatar a few days ago. He said his name was Safe or Saieef?. Had a couple in Morocco too on 27.345. Made a contact from the southern tip of Spain not far from Morocco. Had contact with 974 Reunion Island. Talked to him a few...

974 on Reunion Island(division 173) right now coming in to western NC. According to Google maps, as the crow flies, he is 9,667 miles from me. He is calling on channel USB 27.555. Have fun!

I only hear one station doing it, and it's coming from Arizona. Also, have heard him talk on the radio, and he has a slight Spanish accent.

Today has been awesome so far here in western NC. Had a QSO with #974 on Reunion Island division 173. Europe is booming in. Heard a Ukraine station really good, but the European stations piled on him, so I did not even try. Had a QSO with Michael, division 30, Charlie India 101 from the...

I had a Cobra XL450 that had four strapped Motorola 454 transistors. Bought it for $100 cash, as is, off of Craigslist. It looked almost brand new. Sold it about a year later for $375 because I needed a new refrigerator. It worked very good with a steel whip on the back of my pickup truck...

Propagation was not the best today here in western NC. Made my usual contacts in Europe, but everything was a weak copy or nothing at all coming out of the Middle East and North Africa. Finally, I made contact with Tom out of the Canary Islands division 34. His signal was bouncing all over...
