Good Evening,
I was listening to the ALCS game 6 on 750 AM. It was loud but I
kept hearing tones. I thought I was imagining CW from the noise. It
wasn't repeated often enough to catch more than a character or two once
or twice an inning. Then in the 4th I got K7??T. I put that into
https://www.wm7d.net/perl/ulsquery.pl but got too many hits. Then a lot
of repetitions with DE K7RAT a few times. I put that into the database
and I found an amateur radio club station south of Manning. Put the
address into Google maps and found their location. Eight miles as the
crow flies from me across a clear space between us. I put K7RAT into
http://reversebeacon.net/dxsd1/dxsd1.php?f=0&c=K7RAT&t=dx and found
their frequency of 1817.0 kHz. I should have completed the loop by
turning on my K3 and finding them there too. I was able to copy a few
other stations on my stereo's receiver but not as well as the club
station. From google maps I saw a large vertical antenna. I should
drive over for a QSL card :)
I need to work on my antenna system so I can use 160 meters this
season. The ATU on my K3 can't match my antenna; I think it is too
long. But I can use it to copy a lot of folks on the low band. Twenty
and forty meters are not as quiet nor as productive. I am hopeful the
sun will be more active one day. Which day that may be in still in flux.
Please join us on (or near):
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7047 kHz at 0000z Monday (5 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
