Thanks Everyone for the QSOs, Jim
Heard several stations that I could not work, bad conditions. See you in the next
Opp's, forgot about the time change...Happy Thanksgiving to all...Rick k0kex
Worked that "Desperado Dave" (W0YZZ) up there in that Jesse James town of St. Joseph, MO. Thanks fer the Q! de Outlaw 1
Getting back on PST gives me time to participate again. There didn't seem to be a lot of activity, probably due to band conditions. 20M was essentially dead, so most contacts were made on 40M. 80M was sounding good when I had to sign off due to another commitment, but I had a good time working the Sprint, anyway. It's interesting to note that it was tough to get a response from many CQing eastern stations early in the sprint. I could hear them much better than they could hear me. This is probably due to the lower background noise level out here prior to darkness.
Started QRP but bands were not good. went to QRO with better results. Thanks to those I worked this sprint.
20 WAS Closed. 40 was short and long with a lot of QSB. Sorry to the K7K?? who I just couldn't pull out of noise and QSB. Loads of new stations on 40 which was quite active. Switched over to 80 at 915 and it too was very active. Thanks to all for a fun evening.
Had a fail of the antenna on 80M, SWR suddenly jumped to 19:1? Got to look at that in the morning. Thanks for the Qs. Dale K3SEN. K-Line /6BTV
Enjoyable, as always. Thanks to everyone who organized and participated in this event. Happy Thanksgiving! 73, Bob Rig: IC-7300 at 100 Watts to an OCF Vertical Flagpole. Used my Begali Spark this month.
Forgot to ask XYL to have dinner before the sprint started. Lost 22 minutes for chow. Bands in fair shape with a lot of QRN on 80 and 160. QSOs by bands: 20: 9. 40:22. 80:14. Thanks for all QSOs. 73, John, K4BAI.
Got a late start, and conditions were rough for stations to copy my QRP signal. Thanks to all who pulled me through. 73 Steve K4JPN
Ran my TT Argonaut V barefoot at 15 watts.
Thanks to Art, Drew and Greg for pulling out my 900mW squeak. 72/73
Yikes, the QRN was terrible tonight but at least 80 meters was long. 40 was a bit quieter but still a lot of noise...I hope I regain my hearing by Thanksgiving ....we would like to wish everyone in SKCC a Happy Thanksgiving & also best wishes for the upcoming Holiday Season.
Worked only the last half hour. Stuck to Eighty Meters this time, it was so good during SS on the weekend. See you all next event. 73 and have a great Thanksgiving.
A nice SKS this month. 20m. was dead, but 40 & 80 were in gud shape here in WNY. Rig: IC-7000 at 100w. into a G5RV up 25 ft. w/ WWI German Junkers Straight Key. Happy Thanksgiving to all SKCC.
Working on the S so did not jump on every CQ. Picked up 3 more. Conditions on 20 were not great but 40 was crowded. Thanks to all and CU next month.
Worked QRO for a change with 35 watts using an Icom IC-7600 to G5RV using a Bencher straight key. Don't believe I did any better than doing QRP. Band sort died the second hour - all contacts on 40 meters. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving to one and all. 73, Phil - KB0ETU
I am very grateful to Phil, K3EW for answering my puny 8 watt 6L6 xtal TX.
I operated for most of two hours on 40 and some 80 meters. Band conditions IL were terrible. Sorry I couldn't give out more bonus points.
Enjoyed the night. Worked all on 40 m.
The bands appeared to be short last night. I only bagged one in the 30 minutes I was on. Thanks to AD0AB. Happy Thanksgiving to all. Terry
Sorry to my OR friends, you were both just barely above the background noise. Thanks for sticking with me.
Got a late start ... band conditions very noisy here. Managed to catch a few. See you next month. 73, jack
It was fun as always!
Thanks for the Q's!
Didn't get to operate very long because of Thanksgiving dinner at church. Hope to see everyone on the next one...73...Bill
K3 and a dipole @35ft. Condx could have been better but fun none the less. Thanks for the QSO. 73 Mike
Fun SKS - 40 got very hot for me, many 599 sigs worked tonight. Happy Thanksgiving to all the fine SKCC members. 73 de AL N4ow 11375s
Lots of signals tonite, most were on 40m and long. 20 was dead here and I never could tune any stations on 80m, so good ole 40m was it tonite. Happy Thanksgiving to all, enjoy your holiday, stay safe and I will too! 73�s.
Thank You for a nice Sprint-Happy Thanksgiving! See you on-the-air!
W0N is a spec event call celebrating the 150th anniversary of Nebraska Statehood this year 2017. Fred, KB0LF, was op in the SKS Tuesday evening. Thanks to all for a fun time, as usual for SKCC events. Used my str key for most qsos, but my bug for a couple.
Decided to do this one with the old radios. They were quite a work out. They worked great though. Thanks to all for the qso's and hope to see you again in the next one. 73-Bob
Had one lonely contact on 20 with KG4IKQ at the very beginning. Moved to 40 which was packed and then to 80 which was in very good shape. Highlights: worked K1KV in NV on both 40 and 80 with greats signal and Leo EA7KB in Spain answered my CQ on 40 - 559 both ways, Tnx Leo. I called CQ SKS on 1818 for a few minutes - no takers on 160 this evening. I thought condx were excellent. Rig: K3 @ 100 watts to 160 meter horizontal loop now at 50'. Keys: alternated between HST & GHD-501A cooties. Very enjoyable and relaxing evening. 73, Dave in WV
Not a lot of time to play with Thanksgiving Day prep, but I had a blast! I even ran into Curt and got his bonus. Thanks Curt!
Always I enjoy this evening. 20 meters..just a few us & I spent most the sprint on 40 meters. As far West into TX and North into Michigan. Didn't hear a peep from the West Coast tonight. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL GOD BLESS OUR SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN.... THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE !
Although band conditions weren't the greatest still managed to make a few qso's for a great multi multi effort thanks to K8AQM, KE8CEW, NU8Z, K8KIC, KD8VSQ de Max W8KBW
A shout out to number 5. Saw your score but didn't hear your signal.
Tough night. My 10 watts and random wire didn't seem to be getting out very well. It was still fun, though.
My first SKS had fun but wonder why people don't spread out more. On 40M everyone was within about 15 Khz.
Tough night - limited to 25 watts on 40m. Thanks to all ops and to the organizers.
Thanks to the ones I was able to reach..... seemed bands were busy... 73 Fr richard
Late start and slow evening for me. 40 meters was in decent shape and not too noisy. Ran with my IC-7300 and still getting used to using the scope and it is a little distracting for me. Antenna still the ZS6BKW @ 32 feet and Japanese JJ-38 straight key. Still a lot of fun and thanks to the organizers. Best 72 from Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, Dave
