hey frog do you mean the low side of 36 or 36 LSB. Cause the 66V doesnt have LSB. Just wondering if you used another radio beside the 66V.

I'm up in Northern Michigan and the conditions come in and out. The past couple of days I've been making some contacts with the Carolina's, Virginia, West Virgina, New York. I heard somebody out in Maine for the first time, tried but was not heard.

The guy said skip was awesome!!! meaning he had conditions but then went on to say it was hard to get his name called on 6,11,26,and28.

How's that burban coming? I need to get my farm truck done. These conditions are making me crazy. I'm having rf withdraw symptoms.

Did you get your 16 done? Have you bench tested it? Should do some talking. And to think the locals hated the 12pill. They are really gonna love ya now. What kind of ant system you shooting for? Coil or fighting stick? 2 ,3, or 4 type system. You gonna use it for key down or skip?
I've heard rumors of some crazy setups in the works. The locals have all gone MAD!!!

I was gonna convert the 12pill to a 16pill, but just decided to build a new 16pill instead... I will still use the 12pill for a backup or just sell it, who knows .. I'm going with the fighting sticks... Should be interesting.... I just want a decent talking truck for skip conditions, I dont really care about shoot outs... Not really into all that...

later
