I have been on 17 pretty much mobile but worked a bunch on 10 in the last few days.

grandview bill Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Ten can be strange...for example...I dont hear a single station from the east coast,your area and nothing north south....but I always hear California....there's a good friend in Oregon..but can only talk to him every 11 years...hihi...someday I hope to try 17 mtrs,73 KF0IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maineah Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 17 was interesting the last few days I heard pileups and never heard the station calling CQ! I like it when they don't realize the station is using a split, and their running 1.5 KW and wondering why the guy can't hear him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
