    KD0GHB de N9EJR...
    Nice to meet you and welcome to the forum.
    Sunspot numbers are rising and things are perking up on my favorite band--10 meters.
    I've got an Antron A-99 that I'm waiting to raise up and use on 10, 12, and 15, and I'll
    soon assemble a Moxon for 6 meters.
    Quite intelligent of me to wait for winter to do this when I've had the antennas since May or June.

    I haven’t done much on 10, 12 or 15 yet. The 5/8 vertical I have tuned at 11 meter should let me use my antenna tuner and work at least 10 and 12. That sunspot increase is good news, makes HF quite a fun experience. I don’t envy you working on antennas in winter but you might get a few warm days, anything is possible. I can’t do much antenna work myself, lost my left leg above the knee in 2015, so I have a few ham buddies that come help with things if I need them. Bunch of good guys. I do have a 6 meter ringo I want to get up and see if it’s as magical as a buddy claims it is.

    Have fun on the bands

  3. Just noticed this thread... I'm W1XO. Been licensed since I was 14 in 1970 (WN4TCD). I like CW, especially on the low bands. I'm trying to get a better receive antenna set up for 160 meters. I've been involved in emergency work in the past, and now that I'm retired, I plan to get back into that.

    Snorlax, I own an SP-600 that I restored many years ago, and a few years ago I restored a Comet Pro that belongs to my old university, at their observatory (it was used back in the day for receiving time signals).

    73,
    Ted, W1XO

    General, KA2BAH - was still playing mostly tuba when I registered this sign.
    Pulled the study materials for Extra, but have shifted to picking up a bit of Japanese in anticipation of a trip to Oki next year (son's posted there).

    Glad to see a few more hams here--thanks to all who posted!
    Look for me on 10 meters around 28050 for CW and 28410 for
    SSB. Sorry...no FT8 ;-)

    For all hams who can use 10 meters, GET ON!!
    It's absolutely jumping with signals from all over the world. I've put 10 countries in the logbook this week alone on SSB!!

    Personally, I am going to shortly get back to KBSCK with a longer 96-BXP so that my 78HYU will fit and send the '86-'87 quarking doodle to YH589. That should work.
    John, what you're describing will work only if your framistans are cogulated. Just FYI.
