Worked LMS last year to the stage of Last Man Standing out in California. Fair signal coming into Missouri on my old end fed wire about 40 foot up in a tree. Wish I had a better antenna also. Got a nice QSL card from them.
Sorry for a probably stupid question, but what was the problem with them not receiving? Just to much traffic? I hant been on HF yet Only uhf/vhf KO4MWD
It's a good question. Basically my antenna is weak, just a wire. It does fine for CW mostly, but there was a "pileup" there were probably 20 or 30 people trying to call him at the same time. And only the really strong stations win. The guys with 1500 Watts and a directional antenna were drowning me out.
@@hamradiocq oh ok, I understand the frustration. I'm new to Ham just for my tech 2-22-21 and then general 3-22-21 . Thank you for the explanation. I'm still on my HT mostly. I have a btech uv50x2 and working on a 20ft mast and tram 1481
@@TheOKBluseman thank you. I am really enjoying it so far. I've only operated on 2m and 70cm. Put up a 20ft pipe with a 16ft tram 1481 antenna yesterday! Was hitting repeaters up to 108 miles away! Yes I'm waiting on my Exta book to start studying ASAP. Thanks for the welcome!

Do you still love the FTDx10 over the 7300?

Excuse me please. I'm very curious. Where did you get this straight key from? Do you have it from 1990th?
Do a search for the J-38 straight key and also I have a Russian military straight key.
What software were you running on the computer at the start of the video? I was trying to read the upper lefthand corner without much success. Thanks
That is DM 780 it's a part of Ham Radio Deluxe.
I just bought the FTDX 10 and made several contacts so far seems to be a great rig. How do you loke yours? KU4FX
So far I love it. I especially love that I have a computer monitor up.
