Duffey and I discussed this on the long ride home today. Thinking about it some more, the idea of multipath is that two or more (coherent) signals from the same source travel by slightly

I am very curious - what characteristics of these signals led you to conclude multipath was the problem? What was painfully obvious about it? Should multipath be non-reciprocal? Getting an audio

Greetings, Just found this group when looking for an email address for W9RM. I have dabbled in 2m weak signal for many years and now trying to get serious about it. I have at least temporary access to

Sadly, the same is true on HF now! There will be lots of FT8 signals on the bands and few, sometimes none, SSB and CW signals. We operated the WAE SSB Contest from VY2TT as VY2AT this past weekend.

I have only been on VHF (6 and 2) since late May. My first experience on 6M is hundreds of signals at most times of the day, only on FT8. I have listened and called CQ on CW and SSB, but to this

I agree with K7HP's assessment of FT8. For contesting, not only is FT8 intolerant of static crashes, but also of meteor pings, of which 6M has in abundance. Yesterday, KK6MC Rover op Mike, WB2FKO

This seemed especially true on 6 meter FT8. A static crash during the RX cycle would eliminate any chance of a decode. My brain would have easily filled in the missing dot or dash. Also, there was

Thanks for the update Olivia. Although, I'm sure Mike was looking forward to a night in the bush.... -W9RM Keith Morehouse via MotoG

KK6MC and WB2FKO are off the muddy mountain roads and headed back to NM. Hope everyone had a good time contesting this weekend. - Olivia KG5FHU

Glad to hear the guys are safe. - Jay N1AV

Their rove is over due to very hazardous road conditions in N AZ. All dirt roads are very slippery and they will hold in place in DM45wv until things dry out and are safe for travel. All is fine

KD, 6M SSB starts at 50.125 and goes up from there if the band opens up. The segment 50.100 to 50.125 is reserved for DX operations, technically for intercontinental QSOs but you will hear XE stations

Never participated in the VHF+ contests, but plan to make some noise this weekend. What QRG is used for CW and SSB on 6M and 2M. Just wondering where to listen. 73 de N5KS - KD

Duffey, No, it made it I was late in seeing it and asked just before I saw it in my cue. Yes, the EME array has better gain than the stacked yagis, judging by the radio check I had with W9RM. Will

Bill - Holy crap that is a killer array! I sent an itinerary earlier, but I guess it didn’t make it? Here it is again: KK6MC/r itinerary ARRL Sept VHF Contest Grid Time on Time

I won't be operating the VHF contest this weekend instead I'm on Prince Edward Island operating the All European contest

I have a Kenwood TS-2000 barefoot and can run: 50 MHz 100W 7 el at 30 feet 144 MHz 100W 18 el at 38 feet That is quite capable. Arne N7KA

Guys, Just erected the 4x9 eme array which I'll use for tropo(n) with the antennas pointing to horizon. So that's added to the limited capability here. So 6, 2, 10 G and 24 G. GL es have
