My 2Meter coverage area

Well, I can get up north to Watertown (just barely), South to Binghampton (again just barely), East to just past Rome (no Albany), and West out past Auburn...Not a bad coverage area...
Not much activity on 10 and 6 Meter FM lately...

New Wouxun KG-UV950P Quad Band Mobile installed

Just purchased a new Quad band (10, 6, 2, 440) mobile rig...I bought the programming cable and software with it. It was a breeze to program with the 950 commander software. I also purchased a Comet GP-15 (6, 2, 440) base vertical Ground Plane antenna, but it will have to wait to be put up. I need to borrow an antenna analyzer to tune it. 6M and 10M repeaters are fun! I will have to see how much farther I can get out with the Comet Antenna over the Arrow Ground Plane. The Comet is supposed to have the highest gain of any GP antenna out there. We shall see...
So Sorry Yaesu....

Australia is done

Finally got an Australian station on 10M PSK31 the other day...that is 3/4 of the way around the globe on 20 watts...Impressive!

Will Winter ever end???

Well, the last snow storm brought down my 10 Meter dipole. Too cold and too much snow to throw it back into the tree...Will have to wait for the weekend at least.... :(

73,

Doing good so far

Been making a ton of contacts on 10 Meter SSB and PSK31. With 20 watts and a dipole at 30 feet, I have gotten into Germany and Brazil...Not bad I guess...

Station is Growing

Just got ahold of an old Radio Shack HTX-10 25 Watt 10 Meter USB/LSB, AM. FM transceiver. I am running it into a full wave dipole mounted high on an inside wall right now. I can hear European stations, but the farthest I have talked with is Montana. Once I get an antenna outside in the Spring, I should do much better.

Took down the J-Pole...Put up a Ground Plane.

Bought the Arrow Dual Band Ground Plane antenna.  Built like a tank, this thing should last a very long time.

I live on the third floor and this is about 3 feet above the roofline. Total height about 45 feet.
