    Winter Wonderland Mess

    Who else is is getting this snow storm and how much. The forecast earlier looked like a large portion of the country was going to get hit so was wondering how my neighbors are faring in this mess. Looks like we have 2-3 inches of wet heavy snow out there now with more to come today. I'm still...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Only had a few moments to work skip yesterday because had to get ready for our first snow. Did make a couple contacts but seems like I have too much competition for this valley to handle well.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Because members enjoy communicating with each other on their radio progress.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Made one brief contact to Iowa from the mobile today and that was it. But did notice the McKinley did seem to be bothered by the colder morning temps. Had to tweak the clarifier just a tad until the car warmed up. Time tells all Tales !

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I kind of figured that was what you was getting at but I haven't even touched base on CW yet. I kind of want to perfect the 11 meter first before I move on in the hobby. I don't want to be a 1/2 Hinny mess in everything I touch. LOL

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Yeah but even at over $100 that would be a real deal because I bet the quality was there. West Mountain is scalping the market but still I bought 2 because I hate all the extra noise involved with 11 meter, but in the back of the mind you wonder if it does any thing to your transmit being extra...

    But I'll bet your RS Processor was a lot more reasonable than the West Mountain !

    11 meter is very quiet?

    I was a busy beaver today rearranging the garage and getting the lawn equipment out so I could get my car in for the winter. But I did get 1 small road trip in late this afternoon and the DX Stunk around here so I switched the radio right back off. This morning it seemed OK on the DX 2547 but...

    My Humble 11 Meter Station

    No problem My fault figuring you were new. But checked your profile and I see you've been at this a while now. I understand because seems like I'm always battling some radio problem because I have too many radios to fool with. I just got back from a small road trip and enjoy listening to my...

    My Humble 11 Meter Station

    No one in here really knows you and how you operate or what you have done or not. We are just looking to try to help you. Have you taken that Galaxy 2517 out of the circuit also and still have the problem ?

    My Humble 11 Meter Station

    I was thinking maybe he should completely take that amp out of the circuit and then test his radio for performance for a comparison. Of coarse he might only be able to do locale talk but at least see if the problem disappears. Then a little KL-203 P from Cooper Electronics is cheap to get back...

    I hope someone knowledgeable chimes in to help you. I'm still sorting thru my issues but most of mine is this stinking valley. And not dedicating a life time to the radio hobby doesn't help !
