Simon, how are the bands behaving in Oz? I was on 20 and 40 from a new
yacht installation this past week and made a few contacts but the bands
were in poor, fading shape in South Carolina USA.

The non-ham captain was impressed. I called CQ on 20 and Norway answered
straight away. (I got lucky...(c

Hi Larry, at present I don't go below 10 but friends state that it is
very quiet at the moment also.

Thanks, Simon.

We used to have a local USB net on 10m, back in the 70's in Sumter, SC.
We had all built massive 4-1000A firebreathing monsters out of surplus
miliary parts with power company pole transformers hooked up backwards.
My HVDC power supply could make 1.5A at 7,200VDC, nicely filtered with
oil caps, choke input and homebrew solid state rectifier stacks. My amp
had TWO 4-1000As in it...over 2 meters high by just under 3/4 meter wide.

Well, there we used to sit on the TOTALLY DEAD 10 meter band late at
night, our time, just chatting away at...er, ah....legal power
limit...er, ah..(c;

One night 4 of us were fooling around and this truly Australian accent
breaks in and signs a VK6 call asking us where we were as we were the
ONLY stations he heard on the whole band! We told him Sumter. He told
us Perth! For the next two hours we had an amazing pipeline between
Sumter and Perth. He called all his mates to get them on the air. There
must have been 20 stations on the frequency....nothing more was heard
across the band, I checked. It was a real phenomenon I've never heard
repeated.

I don't think 10M is always dead....just noone is trying to use it. 6M
used to get like that, too, at times.

I'm replacing the haywire I have used to connect the AT-140 tuner to the
bottom of the uninsulated backstay on my buddy's new Jenneau 40 that
worked so well. The boat had an 18' whip on it but the first owner took
it with him. I'm glad he did! The whole rig on this Jenneau must not be
grounded as I can't find a circuit. I'm loading the whole rig...right
down to 2 Mhz just fine. All the LEDs in the DC power panel modulate
with your voice on the air....(c;

Too bad it's only 100 watts. POWER is our FRIEND!
