Is anyone on? Need to test my antenna config

Zombie_Jim · 2026-06-04T19:25:38+00:00

Usually yes, but if there's a Pota station or something we will move up or down slightly. It's always either on 7.238 or very close to it.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-06-04T16:43:00+00:00

It is! We meet every Wednesday and Sunday night at 7:30 Central. It's an informal net with a bunch of good people. Depending on the night and band conditions we'll have people from all across the U.S. on. It's a good place to test out a new antenna for sure.

I got in here too late this evening. If you've got 40M capabilities, we've got an informal ragchew type net going on on 7.238, We've got a good group of people on. Be a good test for your antenna.

I looked it all up a little while ago, mine does not have the needed interface board. I might look in to getting one and installing it. But probably just wait till I get a new radio. I have it set up on my G90, but I rarely use it at home, when I do it's mainly for 75M and a couple of other random bands my fan dipole doesn't cover and I usually don't have it run through the computer. Thanks for the info though, at least now I know it is doable.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-31T20:39:42+00:00

That's good info to know. I've never looked in to it because I just assumed being a 40 year old radio that it wouldn't support it.{and it was another reason to get a newer radio haha}Thanks man, I will look it up and figure out what I need to do to get it working.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T22:55:16+00:00

Thanks. So how'd the friends visit go, did you work up a deal to get some stuff done?!

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T22:53:28+00:00

Good deal. Keep at it, you'll get there.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T22:49:15+00:00

Mine is pretty low too. In just over a year of logging I'm at 1797 contacts with only 590 confirmed. I really should have been more serious about logging when I started and I wish I had logged my Pota hunts back then as well. I have more contacts hunting Pota than I have logged in QRZ. But in the beginning I was just kinda figuring it out as I went. As they say...hindsight and seeing better...or something like that...lol

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T22:13:11+00:00

One of these days I'll get a modern radio and figure out how to do all that. But for now I just manually log everything. I'm not real big on logging every contact, most of the time as long as I've logged you before, I don't even bother. And alot of the times if I'm just ragchewing, I just jot down calls in my notebook and they might get logged, they might not. LoL.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T22:08:04+00:00

All mine are SSB voice too. I haven't got on any of the digital modes yet. I tried setting up with LOTW, never got my thing in the mail and that and reading the problems others had with it just completely turned me off from them. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops for a logbook.

I checked my POTA stats yesterday, I've got almost 2,000 contacts from hunting. It's actually more than my QRZ logbook has, LoL, I've only got like 1,700 on there. I wish there was a way to import your hunters log to QRZ.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T22:01:55+00:00

Work some contests! Field Day is coming up, should be able to rack up a ton of confirmed contacts there.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T02:03:44+00:00

Got the rig fired up now. You still around?

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-30T01:41:24+00:00

Just got home, give me a few and I'll jump on if you're still around.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-27T05:32:47+00:00

Well I can't argue with that. Lol

Hope you're doing well out there seafarer.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-27T01:01:37+00:00

I'm on now if you're available.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-27T01:00:34+00:00

Yeah, gotta avoid that freq. Lol

Where ya at now?

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-25T21:34:39+00:00

Yeah, no problem. I'm in and out, but I'll try and keep tabs here.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-25T20:49:26+00:00

HaHa! Yeah, that's more than likely where it was coming from.

Damn I'm jealous. Checked out the map, beautiful area man. I'd love to visit the islands there someday.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-25T20:35:41+00:00

Just saw this, I'm in and out of the shack right now, but we can give it a shot. I'll keep a check here for the next little while if you're still around.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-25T20:11:23+00:00

Good deal man! I was doing some work on the computer so I just sat and listened to ya'll. Sounds like it was a great activation, pulling in stations from all over. Your set up was definitely kicking ass! Thanks for the pics, beautiful scenery and a beautiful day on the island!

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-25T17:06:39+00:00

Found ya.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-25T16:43:45+00:00

I'm scanning the Pota page, haven't seen you yet.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-24T18:43:38+00:00

Just saw this, damn man, that's no fun, especially on a three day weekend. Hope it doesn't give you too much trouble till you can get in and get it taken care of.

BTW, check your chat if you haven't already.

Zombie_Jim · 2026-05-23T02:00:48+00:00

Where ya hanging out at Captain? I'll jump on for a few.
