  • I was in 2 minds about getting up to my perch, but I had an amazing afternoon on the radio, although the band was very noisy I had some cracking contacts and another 1st for the log, plus a jaw dropping break on the side.
    Hope you all have a great DXing Easter.

      Amazing , but it can be done if conditions allow. The 43 div(Australia) just casually broke in on the side LOL

    I’m going to hang another sky wire so I can make more contacts. It is so much clean fun talking skip. Love talking thousands of miles away on the DX . Love the ten and eleven meter SSB it is even more fun doing it on a mobile in the truck or van. 73s to every one KC9LRA sand man 94. Indiana. USA .

    What mast is it that you use static mobile? Is it with a T2LT antenna? Great video

      @Al.26TC101  Год назад

      The mast I use is a fibre glass Spider beam and the antenna is a Hawkins Thunderbolt SSD 58+ which is like a T2LT antenna , but as you can see I get great results I have done a video on the set up when out mobile. Cheers

    Great dx we'll done.
    One suggestion try setting your agc to slow always used that on my dx 70th on ssb especially for marginal signals.
    Conditions have been banging recently I worked Jakarta last week on an old Tristar 777 with only 12 Watts mobile.
