  3. I successfully got on the local ham radio club's 6m net on Wednesday night. I hastily put up a portable whip in the attic just before the net to test whether a 6m antenna will work there... and it did! 🎉

    (I had previously used the same whip once from the front yard to get on the same net, so I knew the antenna was functional.)

    So now I have plans to add a more permanent, better tuned 6m antenna in the attic at some point and run more coax down to my office / shack. (More than the 0 coax I have run now.)

  4. This is my haul this weekend on the 10m and 6m ham bands. Not too bad, really! All FT8/FT4, but still I'll take it. There's even one all the way down at the Falkland Islands!

  5. I'm still here playing radio on the ARRL September #VHF Contest. #6m and #2m were hopping this morning (although no Sporadic-E was detected here). Now, I feel like everyone has probably worked everyone else, the bands have gone quiet, and everyone's taking a nap. #hamradio

  6. #hamchallenge week 28: Receive a station on 6m via sporadic E. Well, the #6m Es season is about to end; typically it starts in mid May and ends in mid August. At this time (09:45 UTC) there are only a few HB9 stations coming in on FT8 (via sporadic E, working JAs!), and the local beacon SR5DTM is very loud on CW. There is no activity on CW and SSB right now, and I will take this as an opportunity to call CQ on 50095 kHz for some time to see if someone bites! #hamradio #HC28S @hamchallenge

  7. Well there is a lift on 50Mhz tonight. I can hear GB3PX very well. I've put a few calls out on 51.510 but had no response. It's a real shame more people aren't monitoring 6M. #50mhz #6m #repeater #simplex #vhf

  8. Had a very interesting day today running #FT8 on the #6m and #10m bands! #6meters was pretty quiet, but #10meters had some really interesting surprises in store for me! I actually somehow managed to get an exchange with an #Antarctica research station today (DP0GVN)! I honestly thought Antarctica was one of those that I wouldn't ever manage at 100W and a horizontal omni antenna. Gotta mention South Africa too, 'cause that's just a sort of weird hop for #10meter to reach.

  9. I have an #FT8 station band-hopping over all the HF bands, 24x7. Yesterday, almost 200 stations decoded on #6m - the #SporadicE was hot. Today, fewer than 10 on 6m, and 30m on up are all very low; 20m is highest with only 64 in the past hour (very low). Lemme guess, #FieldDay weekend, right?

  10. Well, finally got my rig set up for digital modes this weekend and decided to have a run at it! #FT8 is definitely interesting how well it can hear signals. Ended up with some really distant hits this weekend on both #6m and #10m bands. Will see how well it holds my interest over time.

  11. This weekend was interesting on the #6m band. #6meters was very strange this morning, a pretty much fiber-optic quality path right into Florida Every contact I had was a 59+. Also had a really good time last night on #20m getting a bunch of #POTA contacts.

  12. I might need to unpack my Super Antenna so I can see what it sees as far as #6m goes

    It seems #6m has been hopping the last few days 👀

  13. This weekend wasn't too bad playing #radio despite the solar storms. I managed 16 contacts between #20m and #40m today. I wish #10m and #6m would be a little more active, but I get the solar mess.

  14. I have a question for the ham radio folks here. Does anyone have any comments or opinions about the Alinco DR-06TA? It's a 50 watt monoband 6 meter FM transceiver. I have no experience with this radio at all but I'm kind of interested in it.

    Thanks

  15. and they confirmed on #LoTW 😍

    Now I have #WAS on #80m #40m #30m #20m #17m #15m and #10m 👀

    I just need to finish off #12m WAS for the U.S., and if I get the right antenna setup soon, I'll try for #6m too

  16. Copied from a post on the the Facebook VHF/UHF Weak Signal #AmateurRadio page:

    TODAY, 0000 UTC 6-15-24 starts the #6meter #SMIRKcontest. Ends: 2359 UTC on 6-16-24 (48 hr contest). Make as many contacts on #6m as possible, exchange #SMIRK # ‘s if you have them and collect them if you don't.

  17. Has anyone had any experience with the Chameleon Modular Portable Antenna System? Does it really cover everything from #6m to #160m? I'm grappling with that overriding "if it sounds too good to be true..." rule.
