N8S de K7AGE

New N8S dxpedition to Swains Island. April 5, 2007 at 01:00 UTC. It took a few calls, but I worked them on 15 meters with just 100 watts. You will hear comments from them about the mosquitoes attacking!

Randy, were you using directional or omni antenna? And how far was the Swains Island from you?

[K7AGE]

Swain Islands is about 7,600 miles from me. I use a Hygain TH6DX beam that has 3 elements on 15 meters. Randy

Hi Randy,

I am always looking to see your videos as they are incredible didactic. I would be glad if all the operators could behave in pile-ups like yourself.

Can you tell me what software do you use on this video?

Thanks and 73

Paulo, CT1ETE

[K7AGE]

I use TRX-MANAGER radio control and logging software. Rand

KICK IT UP A NOTCH, HAHAHA

SHould be a 1 call situation, HIHI

73's see ya later W5YDX Alex ( see my QSO with VP6DX)

[K7AGE]

I was letting Henry rest that day! Got VP6DX on 20 SSB and RTTY. Thanks, Randy

great to see how a radio station, also on HF antennas in order to modulate from 160 meters to 10 meters and 6 meters. I have recently entered this wonderful world of radio, but I have little ability to pay but really want to do. I wish I could make the contest with America and around the world chgiedo information to you that you are a pilot of the frequencies that make antenna to make a one-off fee and you are in attendance.

[remnant1978]

[Roar2death]

[Digitalbumpin]

I am a novice but I was getting irritated listening to this. It seemed like the guy wasn't waiting long enough to get responses before transmitting again.

[kc9mav]

Must have had a big pile up. Soon I will be getting the general probably in one week see you on the hf bands.

[K7AGE]

I don't know why. Randy

[M3RQY]

[K7AGE]

Yes, I got the card. Randy

[kc9mav]

Question did you get a qsl card?

[K7AGE]
