don’t have special news from the last week, since I have been traveling and otherwise busy.

Fr Z, are you on this evening? We’re at a party of like-minded folk this evening and doing a Ham demo tonight after the rosary and dinner. I’ll check in later and see if we can make contact if you are available.
I’ll set up for 20m too.
Listening on 14.265 (as usual).
I’m hearing someone on 14.266 too close to where you are
All set up if anyone wants to try
Curiosity piqued, I’ll be lurking on WebSDR now and maybe later after 9 pm Adoration.
No, you don’t need to take up a collection to buy me a real radio. The good Lord willing, and given time, that may be happening presently in due course.
CandS:
I have supper going. But later, I will try.
We got on for a while set up outside. Heard lots on the west coast. Packed up now to go home.
If I see you’ll be on later, I’ll set up at home.
I’m home and setting up again for 20m.
I’ll get on my rig on 14.265 since that is where WB0YLE is listening.
Just called CQ on 14.265.00
Me too
I might hear something way down there somewhere. I don’t know if you’re hearing me at all.
I think there could be plenty of optimization I need to try with the Buddipole.
Someone way down in the mud
SWR is 1.7, which I suppose isn’t awful. I’ll keep trying.
I can also switch to 40m or another band.
not much getting out on 20m right now
I feel like I hear something, but too far gone to even be speech.
I hear someone tuning up
I’m hearing a couple folks
VA?
KFF!
I’m getting nothing but static and maybe something way way down on 14.265.00. Earlier on 20m I was hearing lots of crystal clear transmissions in California, Oregon, Washington all the way from here in Massachusetts.
I heard a couple folks
I’m now attempting to call CQ on 14.265 – anyone hear me? KJ4MPE
I’m hearing a lot on 40m when I switch over (without switching my antenna).
I hear that VA also. Attempting contact.
Just tried calling CQ as well 14.265. I’m still learning, but what advantages do we have of trying other bands?
ac7va is the station we were hearing. I got him just above noise level enough to make contact.
CandS – I’ll switch over to 40 if you’d like. 20 isn’t worth much right now.
Okay, I’ll switch my antenna. Let me know what frequency to listen on.
I’m on 40m now.
7.210 is silent right now for me. I’ll tune up and start calling CQ.
I’m getting interference from 7.208.50
Come up just a couple KHz’s. I’m talking to K3RLE right now.
I could hear you, KJ4MPE
Are you hearing the strong station at 7215?
Ok, glad you could here me…to bad I couldn’t hear you. Fr Z? Anyone else? Get in on this…there’s decent propagation on 40 right now.
Not clearly. I assume you didn’t hear me calling back on 7.211?
No, I didn’t. I just talked to KC9LOX out of Wisconsin. My radio says I am at 7214 but being a slide-rule type tuner the calibration isn’t perfect.
are you moving around a lot? I keep hearing your call signal, but I’m losing you.
No, I’ve been hanging at the same spot about 10 minutes now. Still calling CQ.
I can hear you fairly clearly. I’m answering back. You’re not hearing me I don’t think.
I have to turn in.
Keep at it!
KJ4MPE, just letting you know I heard you calling and heard you just sign out.
Guess it’s just not working in our favor. I have to do some other stuff…maybe we can work down the log sometime. 73, de KJ4MPE
Fr. Z, I’m on 7.214.00 right now.
I see, that was “turn in”, not “tune in”. I’ll keep trying elsewhere across the band then.
WD9PRS, perhaps?
Anybody going to be listening this evening?
The whole world is listening, CandS. ;-)
I’m listening on 20m and 40m this evening.
But so few anybodies that I might know!
