It's been fun talking to forum members on the radio this week,
I talked to 'hookedon6' on 28.400mhz a couple of times this week. Just keyed up both times on two different days and called CQ/DX - then boom - there he was! Instant responses, and no one else on the band. From CA to TN. Talked about antennas for 6m - of course.
Today, I heard someone call 'CDX-390 Texas' on 27.385mhz/LSB. I knew that number sounded familiar. Then I called back to him and we shifted freq's. It was 'Marconi', so we gabbed a little bit until conditions began to change for the worse. Hope to talk again - even longer tomorrow - Marconi!
Had a long QSO with a new member here on the forum. 'BR_549' in TX. One of the best - if not the best - audio you can imagine on SSB. He uses a periodic antenna, a huge beast. Talked for 20 minutes. Catch him if you can.
Then, this afternoon I heard someone call 'CDX-339'. I knew that number somewhere on this forum before, so I asked him if he was a member of the WWRF. Think he said 'no'. I said that I was a moderator on that forum and that his call number was very familiar to me. He wigged out a bit and then said 'What; you're a moderator on the WWRF?!? What is your name?!?' I said R O B B. He told me he was AudioShockWave/Jeff. We both laughed. That was cool. Talked for 10-15 after that. Great signal from his mobile.
Larry/WR-178 is a regular in these parts when North/South skip is in. When it is, we talk just about every day. Or even several times in one day.
Hope to talk to even more members in the future.
