I want to do it....I've never done it.

 

Hi Michael NO2Y,

MANY, MANY apologies for not being able to get back to you earlier!!!
We were traveling, and then had a Perfect Storm computer (Mac) crash after that. WEEKS to get it sort of fixed!!!

Anyway, If you are still interested, when would be good for you?
During the day on 20 m is probably best for me-
I live in Diamond Bar, CA, outside Los Angeles, but I have hit Alabama in the past, at least on PSKREPORTER, so that would be hopeful.

Spoiler Alert- I have never done Olivia either, but a lot of Emergency Communications groups use it, and with these days of BAD QSB, it seems like it would be worth a try.

Olivia 8/250 is slow, but it is NARROW, so we could probably avoid stepping on anyone's toes with that.

Maybe 14073.00 USB + 1000 Hz Audio Tone?
(Note the USB.)

Sooo—— Let me know if you are still interested…

73,

Peter K6PAA

 

Sorry...just saw this. If you want to try to do something this weekend... I'm game. I actually tried it out today with 2 people in California. we copied each other fine. We did it on the edge of 14070 and used Olivia 8-250.

Hi N02y,

tnx for getting back to me.
As you can see, we seem to be a little out of sync! We are here on a Road Scholar trip, Marconi actually received the 1st transAtlantic radio CW right here!
We will be back home after August 19, and I will contact you then.
2 QSOs in CA is certainly encouraging!!

Ok....sounds good. 73
