Littlereds journal

[littlered]

Had an expensive past couple of weeks. My cobra 2000gtl lost rx and tx I think the finals are gone and it is off to the shop. My power supply for my ham radios went on the fritz, I think the i/o switch is bad, and that is off to the shop as well. I am running my RCI 2950 and my icom 229h on battery backup. Hopefully in a week or two I'll have my station back to normal. WHAT A WEEK!! Other than that life is grand!

This is littlered we'll be 10-7 for now, we are QRT

Last night was a good night on the 10m band. Could hear Kentucky and Georgia, and most of the southern states on 28mhz. I didn't check the cb band. My battery ran out of juice by the time I got ready to try it. Can't wait to get the cobra back, I made alot of contacts on that old radio. Been quiet here in NNY otherwise.

This is liitlered on the side for now

Been a busy summer and fall here. Picked up some new radio's and did some work on the antenna system. Got them up a little higher on the tripods. Picked up a new Icom 706mkIIg for my ham set up and a Icom Iv82 2M handheld. Been making some nice 10 meter contacts on the 706, but the skip hasn't been the greatest here in NNY for the cobra 2000.

Not much going on here today. No skip on the CB or 10M. Been learning "the code" this week. Can't wait to start talking some DX. Cold and clear here in NNY for the pst few days, the local signals are noce and strong, but no DX., hopefully soon!!

Was that 706 new or used? I'm looking to pick one of those up myself and curious how much you paid if it was a used unit.

[littlered]

bought it new through AES. Nice rig seems to work great! I'm not sure what they are new. I bought it as a base for now and later when I get some money saved up I'll buy a nice Hf base rig, and put the 706 in the truck. Thanks for asking

Another busy night here in the shack. Been talking DX on 27.385lsb. The midwest is rolling in very well. Most Dx we've had here in a while. Hope that these cold winter evenings are full of DX. A change of pace from the locals!!
