It has been some time for a post busy old guy, grandkids, spring, now summer bla bla bla !
I will be going to Ore. this weekend for FD, last year my pal K7BUY came to Idaho so my turn. It is always great to spend time with old friends and enjoy FD no matter how many contacts you make just as long as you spend it with good company and enjoy the weekend, pleasant surprise old friend K7JD will be flying one of his planes in to meet with us for FD...will be great weekend.
My last post was in March or April after WPX, this is the time of the year my radio interest shifts to 6M and it has done just that. So far it seems like a lack luster year for us trapped in the 6M no mans land of the Pacific North West. I have seen many East coast openings to Europe and S. America, many Mid West stations working JA's but not so much for us. I did hear KH6 and one JA last night but to old and slow to work them !
Worked many SW and So. Cal. stations and a couple of openings to NW and Canada. Worked Fla. once and Mid West a couple of times but still looking for that East coast opening to have a shot at RI. and Del. to finish 6M WAS. But I will admit talking to anyone anywhere on 6M is a fun day.
I have a short video of my rebuilt Yaesu FT-301 ( from the 70's) back in the station line up operating computer generated CW sort of an old meets new story. Have a good FD hope I have a good story to tell after my return home...Get on have fun and enjoy what you have to work with....73 Jim, K7JAN
Sorry Video would not load .....
