Hey good people,
I found a pile of RG213 in my junk box, so I took that Hamstick standing in the corner outside. I slapped it in the ground and hooked up the RG213 via the basement door. I'm sure my XYL will be giving me grief letting the cool air in, but all in the name of getting on the air.
In any case I was thinking I'd try to hang out on 7.105Mhz around 18:30 Eastern till about 21:30 or so Eastern this evening. I'm in Maryland, so that would be 23:30 UTC? In any case if you can tolerate a sloppy slow fist and don't mind sending at 5 WPM or so, I'd love to try this rig out and make you my first contact in eight years.
Send me an e-mail if you feel the suggested freq is not a good pick.
tnx,
73
