9WR2356 Brian Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hi. Names Brian and I’m from the SE corner of BC Canada about 50mi north of the border. Now propagation conditions are coming around I want to get on board. I played with CB in the late 80s and have been a Short wave listener for years.I love all things radio. Im studying for my ham license and hope to write as soon as all this virus stuff has passed. I just put up a new antenna and hope to see if I can get some contacts stateside. The last skip cycle on Apr.16 was really fun to listen to and eager to earn membership here. I will try barefoot first and step up to a small amp if I have to. Please if your a Wash, Idaho or Montana guy and would like to try to set up a list of members to try for it would be appreciated. Waiting for the next propagation cycle😄 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9WR2356 Brian Posted May 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Thanks Scott. I don’t know how you guys organize all the confusion but your system works. I had a nice quiet clear QSO with Eli on 37 late last night when I went to unhook the antennas. Thanks for all your encouragement. I’m having a lot of fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35WR035 Frank Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hi Brian, would be great to chat with you soon on the Air. But i guess we need 2 years to could get a skip between CA and EU. Best Regards. 73s Frank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
