All Hail Cycle 25!

February 16, 2025/3 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Scott Schillereff VA7SNJ

10 m was *hot* last night.  How hot you ask?  Well, around 19:00 PST, I worked VL2A on 28045 on CW using 1 watt from IC705 to inverted L antenna (27 ft legs), center-fed with narrow homebrew window line.  He was in Berkelely Vale, Australia which makes it 12,384 km/watt – so far my lifetime personal best. Woohoo – this stuff never gets old!  72, Scott  VA7SNJ

    It was a thrill. I did get three “agn”, but he stuck with it. Perhaps he had a beam and swung it around toward BC. Final exchange was clear and complete. A real treat.
