OT: N6KR (et al) testing KX2 on San Bruno mountain today at 12 PM PDT, ~14.058 MHz

Administrator

Hi all,

A friend and I will be deploying our KX2s and antennas at exactly noon today from an excellent perch: San Bruno mountain (Just south of San Francisco). This will be my first field operation since adding the KX2’s newest firmware features (in particular, multiple ATU data sets).

The bands don’t sound all that great, so we could use some company :) We’ll be listening/calling with 10 W on 14.058 or so.

73,
Wayne
N6KR

My chance of hearing you is almost zero, noise level high-ish, but my
propagation program tells me that the propagation to CA on 20 at noon
your time is as good as it will be all day. So I'll listen in a few
minutes -- who knows?

You were very marginal copy for the first ten minutes but were getting
S7 reports from those you worked. Then you dropped out and I could only
hear those you were working. You were not lonely :)

I won't [and don't] hear you on 20, I probably would on 40

Maybe next time! Thanks for the pointer.

We didn’t have much operating time, but it was serious fun. I felt like a rare DX station, working a pileup for about 15 minutes. Thanks, guys!

I heard nothing, as expected! My noise level was about -110 dBM, quite
high (now, in the morning, it's -120). I did give N6KR a short call on
the QRG a few minutes before and after the hour just in case I could get
a SWL report.
