I don't drive,im aloud to have 3 antennas on the roof according my my land lord. Was planing the 2m/440 like i have,a HF antenna and a beam for satellite work..
Man this is so depressing,wish i could find a HF antenna i can put on my apartment roof ,that doesn't cost a arm and leg,my radio wouldn't sound so dead then lol.
look for a antenna called a opek hf antenna its a moble 80-70cm in its a jumper antenna its pretty cheap its should be under $100 in easy to set up inside or out off a window or something in should do the job
band plan or not they can use a freq 5kc up...the band plan is a suggestion, not law...they are all hams and can use the band how they wish...14.230 14.233 and 14.235 are always busy with SSTV so I am not surprised
i think america is being mentioned so much, probably because if the american independence, was on the same date. but also, maybe it could be linked with kosovo.
i wann get one of these.
is this a radio scanner (RF) the type you can use for CB, baby monitors, and other shit, or is it an ameteur.
lol thanks for the comment, actually i was really suprised that i heard a pile up! I just have a homemade dipole antenna the ends on the fence and middle up on a tree and i could barely make it into CA with 100 watts! I am regulated by the home owners so :( But i am going to get a buddistick this week! So i can hide that as its same height as my 2m 9 feet :D 73s thx for watching
LOL! Sounds more crowded than an 11 meter AM CB rig in the 1980's! But at least the on air cussing was absent! Nice conditions for BCB and shortwave DX'ing too! My BCB/SW crystal radio was pulling in signals like crazy! I had 300+ miles BCB and 4000+ miles SW, all from the energy of a 75ft inverted L and cold water pipe earth, no batteries or AC! Happy Hamming to you, CX5DN!
and then someone invented the "contest" and relaxed building of friendships across borders have been replaced by short "ur rst 559 and now bugger off" burts...
Yes i was surprised heard all over America. I started to recieve psk31 and i got venezuela!!! To bad i don't have a interface bummer. Can you get on HF yet?
Woa what a pileup! I just got my tech ticket about a month ago and plan to get my general soon. Can't wait to get on HF! Maybe we can make a contact. By the way... what kind of antenna are you using for HF? I can't decide on what to buy.
congrats! Sure that be great on the contact. I have a homemade dipole antenna.. and a used hygain 10,15,20,40m vertical antenna that a ham buddy gave to me :D its still sitting around, still need to get a pole to mount it. I would get a vertical, its def much better then a long wire :).

WOW, when the SSTV popped in they I CRACKED UP!!!!
I saw the freq and KNEW what was going to happen
yes, SSTV calling is 14.230
cffd3m0nslay3r 2 years ago
does anybody read their bandplan ????
isnt 14.235 the sstv calling frequency,, they do have a right to operate there
kc9mav must not know this
anyhow, poor operation is always seen on 20 meters.
radiomanwakefield 3 years ago
it has been my understanding that 14.230 is the frequency for sstv

Well thats what contesting and pile up's are all about.
Its a big boys game and you got to have a good setup to play the game.
