10 meters
Jay, I can't remember much of what I said that you replied to!!
The Prisoner – Yes, I have seen it. CBC used to have that show on saturday
or sunday, about 1PM, if I remember right. Watched a few episodes of the
show, but was getting pretty boring. Seems like there are not very many
episodes, since the repeat rate appeared high, or else CBC never obtained
rights to all the episodes of the show.
>>I didn't hear you<< Quite possible – either propagation or I wasn't
talking! (or I wasn't there) The last few times I was on there, I was just
listening (very carefully, +/- 2 kHz). I have heard a `0' station on 10
meters, but it was a `G0' station. Another time I heard somebody talking
to an `8' station, but couldn't hear him.
>>Why would they?<< (not like SSTV in the novice band) Probably lots of
reasons. The one that comes to mind is the complainers are ignorant
$!$%{%^$^ (darn that line noise). What I can't get is the guys who don't
understand how their radios (and single sideband) work. On 20 meters we
are on 14.230 and 14.233, so when we ask others to move up to 14.236 or
down to 14.227, they think we are taking 12 kHz of the band, when in fact
we are only occuping 6 kHz. Thankfully some of the other SSTVers on 20
have some diplomatic talents – I don't!! I am very likely to end up in a
shouting match.
I have never gotten past the jerk on 28.325 to hear the garbage you mention
on 28.320. I don't undertand how some people can sit there and spout off
such forms of abusive language and hatred. They are just showing off what
type of idiots they are, and hurting Amateur Radio in a big way. Wish the
FCC had the resources to shut down some of these guys and put them in the
rubber padded room where they belong.
Okay, will try today and wednesday on 28.330. Looks like I will have to
dismantle the station at the end of the month to move to another house
across town (less than 2 km as the crow flies). Probably won't be until
June until the station gets permamently set up again. Still looking at
options for
