Made a few contacts this morning. Not much on 40 or 16. Most action is on 37-39. Some guy complaining cause he couldnt talk to locals. Really? Skip is rolling. What a douche.
An inverted v I made out of an old extension cord and wood trim for a spreader. Two and a half sections of 2" pvc conduit for a mast, about as sturdy as a spaghetti noodle.
Hey Rick -
I heard you last Friday Afternoon on 40LSB. I think that you heard me, but ain't sure because there was a LOT of QRM. But I know I heard WDX561 calling CQ. I think you said that you were in (near) St. Louis. Post up what kind of radio you're running. Maybe we can set up a time and channel one day this coming week.

Yep, that was me and I commend you on a very noble effort on trying to pull my signal out man. I run a box stock barefoot McKinley in my Cherokee with a drilled hole roof mount antenna on a Breedlove mount. I run a custom base loaded Larsen while driving and I have an MFJ 12 meter telescopic (I just don't extend all the way) I put up while stationary. When the wind cooperates, I sometimes use the inverted v and I also made a wire Moxon that works great but it's difficult for me to get it high enough in the air to be efficient. I take my lunch every day sometime between 11 and noon central time and always try calling out. I start on 40LSB calling for WDX members then 39, 37, 36. Thanks again JJ and hope to make contact with you and lots of other members as well. 73s!
