FREQUENCY AND TIME FOR CONTACTS

[Brother DXer]

@unit_399 .. JJ, I greatly appreciate the qso! This was the most clear qso I've had in a while and long too. Our timing was great. That cobra you were running was sounding super choice. It's definitely a keeper.

It was good to finally meet up with you, and the pleasure was all mine, brother!

That goes both ways, Rod. That was the best QSO I've had since getting back on the air. You've got one fine-sounding station. It was super to be able to talk with a friend that I'd got to know on the forum. Hopefully, someday I can shake your hand. Really looking forward to talking again. 73 Brother.

I'm hanging out on the top side .385, 395, 405 this evening 6:00 pm cst until the condition fall out.

I'll occasionally check 385 but it's the typical circus there now.

You and I are too close, only under one of those occasional strange mother nature moments of short skip.

I won't be on consistently but will definitely take a shot at a qso with you sir. When I have a few minutes in between chores I'll be listening.

828 is up and running this morning, the crt 7900V is taking the stage.
40 is busy with club check ins right now, it seems everyone else is migrating to other frequencies for the same reason as us.

Will be monitoring the high side of the band.

Great to get a contact with you, J.J. 399.
Some operator is running a ungodly amount of power on a adjacent channle and is splattering a few channels tearing me up but good contact on 40L. That "classic" equipment you were talking about sounded fantastic up this way!
Tried to point the little Maco VQUAD your way. She ain't much but better than the vertical. My transistors are arriving to repair my base amp today and maybe we can do a little better next time once that repair is done. 73s my friend.

I heard 399, I answered but couldn't be heard. Then I heard him talking to a 429 so I got back off to the side. It's rough and tough out there today!

It's bouncy no doubt. I hollered for ya on 40L and 40U but no dice. The RF bounce isn't favoring us semi local for sure. Had a good brief QSO with JJ then some power monger came in splattering 5 channels either way and wrecked my recieve.
