Hi all,

I just upgraded to General in November (2 days before the ARRL Phone Sweeps). #Even with my compromise antenna setup (multi-band dipole in the attic of our two story townhome apartment) I managed to log 21 states and one Canadian province (thanks to everyone else's big antennas). #I'm having fun, and I'm also working on learning to receive and send cw as I know that it will give me an advantage in making contacts during this part of the sunspot cycle. #

In the meantime, I am trying to achieve WAS on phone. #I already have CA, IA, MN, LA, MI, IL, AL, AR, GA, VA, OH, IN, TX, SD, MD, WI, DE, NM, MO, HI, KS. #If anyone from any state not already listed is willing, I would enjoy making contact on 15 and 20 during the day on the weekend or 40 on most evenings. #

I also enjoy QSO's but with my setup and the current conditions they don't last very long on HF. #I'm looking forward to later in the sunspot cycle when things will get better. #In the meantime I'll do what I can do... http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Jody,

I would be glad to help you with a contact from Pennsylvania. 40M to Oregon from here is fairly easy around 0100-0200Z. Let me know a night you might wish to try. 73--Scott

I'll hook you up with Mississippi. I'm usually available every day before 11am and on my days off any time. Just email me when you would like to try it. I'll let you pick the band, frequency and time.
