It was the first time I've had anyone answer my CQ on this QRP calling frequency.<br /><br />Hope you and yours are doing well in France. Our friends Paranoia and Schizophrenia are still running rampant here; but on the positive side---Construction is "up". We're building asylums quicker than we can plant corn.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-32290487581697047262013-01-26T07:28:54.065-08:002013-01-26T07:28:54.065-08:00Hello Phil,

I've never attempted to ride on snow, but can imagine it's quite feasible with good knobby tires, especially with a little less air in them. We've also had a couple of inches of the white stuff today. I've swept the porch, the sidewalk, and the car. Now there's a fine icy mist coming out of the sky which I imagine will turn into "black ice".<br /><br />How far do you ride to work? Be extra careful this evening. I know you'll be fine but some people haven't a clue how to drive their cars in this stuff. hihiJspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-5798626529679275772013-01-25T13:12:27.719-08:002013-01-25T13:12:27.719-08:00Hello Bert,

Mostly they're running a beam with lot's of "gain"; BUT I got a card recently from a QRP op in the Canary Islands who was using a long wire from a hotel balcony and I've worked a "slow freighter" near the coast of Venezuela.<br /><br />On the 2x2 QRP "local" contacts; my log book now has 379. I don't do a lot of contesting because no filters in the rig.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-70510925328066910122013-01-25T13:01:11.503-08:002013-01-25T13:01:11.503-08:00Hello Jeff,

I read today that he has over 1000 contacts as KY3/EU so he's burning a lot of oil to keep it flowing!<br /><br />Gentleman operator and great fist.<br /><br />Nice catch!<br /><br />73, Jeff KE9VJeff Davis, KE9Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402862349446509386noreply@blogger.com
