Finally made over seas contact

[silvereagle1]

I finally made contact somewhere other than the the United States today. it took me a little while this morning but I got to talk to 101 in the UK. It was brief but it was clear and sound was good. Then a few minutes later I talked to 777 in Canada.. Must have been rolling my way today

Nice Job. If you get on around dusk til it gets dark, you may hear Japan. They come in on 10 meters around that time and 11 meters behaves the same way. You may have to go to the internatinal calling frequency on the FB.

I've actually talked alot more to the uk since I first posted. I know where to find them now! Have to slide just a little bit to get those guys.

I've talked to them on AM the times I've made contact. I never have tried to contact them using FM mode. I just pulled the UK cb frequencies chart of the Internet and may give it a shot in the next few days.

Never made it over the pond to the UK...But I have made it to Sidney and Melbourne Australia on 38 LSB several times...Usually right after dark, but it doesn't stick around very long.

Congrats to you Silver Eagle on your UK contact. Keep up the good work with your super station.

The times I've made contact has been early in the morning. Around 7:00-9:00 a.m. Eastern time. That seems to be the window for contact to the UK for me. There's been a few times the only skip I was getting was from over there then around 10 am on up it just switches back to the states.. Not all the time but sometimes.

while back i was talking to 44 john and he jumped in the middle of my conversation with another guy around newyork he told me there was a guy in Italy yelling at his lungs telling me to turn it down for about 30 minutes
then changed his tone and just wanted to make a contact
john told me i was like 20 s-units into Italy
so yes it can be fun when you have the right conditions
just right spot for being on channel 28
