6 Meter QSO with W4LWY

A short QSO with W4LWY, John, in Mt. Juliet TN. John is operating a ICOM IC-7600 with a Heil PR20 and EQ. John is located in EM66 and I, K4IDE, am located in EM75. Great signal coming out of the M2 Antenna (I think).

Sorry for low video quality. Video was sort of spurt of the moment and didn't have time to perfect lighting and camera angle.

Great video. I just got a 7600 and am over here in Jax FL. I have tuned up my 40m on 6m. Plan on purchasing a dedicated 6m antenna soon

The 7600 is a nice looking radio. Wish I could afford one, hi hi. I have a dipole up that will tune 6m up decently, but defiantly not the best in the world, but works.

Sounds good. Just let me know what you have.. I appreciate it.

I will look around. I have several GE Master 2's pulled from service.

Well, don't really have any experience with repeaters but interested it getting one to cover some "RF-less" areas of Van Buren County. Would most likely be looking for a complete setup, working.

LWY is a good friend of mine. He know's his audio sounds good.

What are you looking for in 440 repeater equipment?

[ericmooneyham]

I though he sounded rather good. Big signal here at almost 1900+ ASL. If he likes how his station sounds that's all that matters. Have any 440 repeater equipment laying around?

Could you not find a better person to talk to than W4LWY?

His audio is so processed.

He is not very pleasent to listen to.
