LOL !! I had some mexican skip for all of about a half an hour Monday night when I was in J-ville, Florida...usually the sand pile is a given for skip but not this trip..
That wasn't skip. All the mexicans ran away from mexizona and stoped when they saw water so guess where they landed J-ville
My Cobra 142 GTL ..mated to a KV amp (KLV 250) My mobile setup a Uniden 538 xlw w/Uniden Base/Mobile 50 state scanner and my lil Palomar foot warmer (mounted on the side of my seat pedestal) With special note; I am not an airwave jerk that transmits noise toys or constant running b.s. moreover when I see or hear of a hazard I let drivers know, being a CDL driver myself (now on the sidelines) I keep abreast of weather and road conditions posted by ODOT and when things are particularly bad or there's a calamity, I let folks know but not with a contstant on air drabble, at least when I'm on 17 or 19.
Sunday Oct 17 2010 FIRST TIME I worked my brother in UATH ........ And he was S9+ with about 80 watts ..... INTO A G5RV-JR ......
10 meters ... I sent him a spi-ro D-44 dipole to replace that G5RV-JR ( http://www.spiromfg.com/multi-band_dipoles.htm ) I have a alpha delta DX-CC which I'll put back up soon to back up the R7.
I still have a G5RV-JR by Truetalk strung up in the trees out back great antenna.. Last week (while I was out on the road) 10 opened up and my buddy worked South Africa w/100 watts from upstate NY..
Jolsen ..... LOVE the little antenna tuner I have one of them and use them for 10 meters so i can run one antenna on SSB and FM copper used to sell them.
