The Radio Amateur is
CONSIDERATE...never knowingly operates in such a way as to lessen the pleasure of others.
LOYAL...offers loyalty, encouragement and support to other amateurs, local clubs, and the American Radio Relay League, through which Amateur Radio in the United States is represented nationally and internationally.
PROGRESSIVE...with knowledge abreast of science, a well-built and efficient station and operation above reproach.
FRIENDLY...slow and patient operating when requested; friendly advice and counsel to the beginner; kindly assistance, cooperation and consideration for the interests of others. These are the hallmarks of the amateur spirit.
BALANCED...radio is an avocation, never interfering with duties owed to family, job, school or community.
PATRIOTIC...station and skill always ready for service to country and community.
--The original Amateur's Code was written by Paul M. Segal, W9EEA, in 1928.

Wow, the New York party is all over the place....It doesn't matter where I go.......
ReplyDeleteFrom Ohio the Illinois QSO party is dominating the band. 7201 had a bad heterodyne. Need to get below 7175 to fing any clear area (Advanced or Extras only) 7165 was pretty clear.

I'm over on PSK 31 now... 7.078.5 1500
ReplyDeleteThis is a new listener in Illinois. Trying to find you on the Net. Listening with a small Grundig SW Receiver. Get a few Donald Ducks but nothing understandable on 7.190. I'm thinking of upgrading my receiver and perhaps getting my license... any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteOn the Grundig, unless you can set it for SSB or it has a BFO, you wont be able the hear the sideband signals. For some AM listen around 8pm-midnite on 3875, 3880, 3885, 7275, 7280. It wont be APRN stuff but still very interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt is the Grundig YB 400PE. SSB was enabled but no BFO. I am using the single wire antenna but reception is very limited. I will try to listen in as you suggested. I am looking at the Grundig 750 and perhaps a more external antenna (apartment living doesn't help). I am enjoying surfing the bands, just trying to get a feel for it. I used several different Harris radios in the Army, some AM, mostly FM or Sat link. It was necessary but fun.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, click on the link to the Forum Boarb on the left sidebar and come over and join in!!!! We will be having our 160m net tonite at 9pm eastern on 1.860 Lower sideband. I am the Net Control station and I'd like to know if you can pick us up!!!! I am an avid SWL and I would like to see more involvement over on the forum. We have lots to look at over there!!!!
