Thanks for the info. I'll have to go back out. Don't have a base station but, there is an empty soccer field less than a half mile away where I park my pickup and have talked pretty much everywhere from there. At least 150 yds from any power lines or structures. A great location. And, the weather has cooled off, finally!
He claims to have taken his 2 meter antenna down and put up a 11m beam in it's place. Still out there causing H&D on 38 along with his buddies Lt. Dan (no legs chris sweeney and the burglar Matt)
Very faint on my receivers today. Hopefully this evening it'll open up.
Big time!!! Made a lot on contacts this morn. Had to get off of 38lsb…too jumbled up. 36,37,39 and even 40 had lots of stations. Love it!!
I went out about 11 am central time and hooked my mobile up to a 2 element beam only about 12 feet off the ground. I made a few contacts up to New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Maryland. I talked with a guy in Maryland on the lake running a Anytone 5555 barefoot into a 102" whip on his boat. I can't remember his numbers though.

Had a radio on a dummy load. Happened to switch to the superbowl (Ch 6) and had a station from the Great Lakes coming into AZ loud.
Yes it is! Just made about a dozen contacts from Canada to Florida and all in between. Wow! Just want to mention this 7900V has taken the crown from the quad 6. I know I know...... conditions make all the different in the world.
But....
This 7900V is phenomenal on rx and have received more compliments on the audio than any radio I've owned. Might just have to get another one or a quad 5N II.
Heard a few really strong stations in CA and a lot of station in spiritic places but couldn't reach anyone anywhere, quite the depressing day.
It’s hopping today too but not as wild as yesterday. Nice contacts with mid-west, east coast and Canada. There was also some jerk (SSB police) telling guys how bad they sounded, Roger beeps, waving…what an miserable angry man.
Hoping to have time for the dx this evening but of course mother nature permitting.
Come on Dx!
Come on Dx!
