Long Live The AT-6666 radios.

Looking Good

Not for me! What do the folks lower down do if the folks up above them need to…well, you know.

If everyone had a can…

I know what you mean regarding getting older. I hit that 80 last year 2023.

It’s a MFJ-1890 Moxon beam. 12’ wide and 55” boom. It is for 10 meters but can be adjusted for 11 meters. I’ve got it adjusted for 10 meters. I’ve got a rotor for it but too lazy thus far to hook it up. I’ve got vice grips on the mast pipe. I just turn it where the DX is coming from.

Adios MFJ

Dang that’s lots of snow!

Waste of time here.

Thus far today right here in 52* rainy North Carolina nothing but mumbling and murmuring and one whistle coming out of my AT-6666. Yaesu 3100 has a little 2 meter traffic. Haven’t awoken the IC-7300. It’s napping and I’m gonna do the same.

If you guys ever hear me on 11 meter SSB I’ll be calling out as WDX-556 or 2NC556 or NC556. I know. Confusing ain’t it.

Gimme dat ClusterDX

Yep for sure. Have done that for years. Been trying for decades to figure out why that’s called the Free Band. Free of 11111111 and other smart alecks I guess.
