Birthday commence. Starting high moving lower as the day wears on. Currently 28.408 MHz. Will try to post updates in the replies, but cell signal is sketchy.

But check my QRZ page to see what frequency in case I forget to post here: https://www.qrz.com/db/KC1SRI

@croyle @Geojoek @kelvin0mql For the last 10 days or so its been hit or miss as the current rotation of the sun has exposed a very active earth facing portion of regions. Should settle down in the next few days.🤞

How to throw a line into a tree to raise your antenna. I won't win any Olympic medals but it gets the job down. @POTAspots

@kelvin0mql Yes Sir. I got an alert about 4 a.m. about a Solar Flare over the Mediterranean and was hope I could make it out before the sun fired off another flare. I had about 6 minutes before it fired off a M Class flare. I'll try again tomorrow just after sunrise before the terrestrial storms arrive around 9 a.m.

@kelvin0mql Yes Kelvin, There was an operator that came in on 7053.5 20 minutes after I started with high power. I moved up to 7054.3 for a while before moving to 20 meters. I was 1st licensed in 1963 & have never used high power for CW. I don't get it.

@N4JAW@mastodon.radio avatar

@kelvin0mql True!

Spent International Marconi Day morning with some action before the downpour started, Mother Nature has not been friendly with my activations this week.

@F4JWJ @n2epe On No, I had visitors today. Mostly kids. I don't run camera whenever kids are around.

@n2epe You are so correct about a bad day of outdoor radio
