It's still fun just to Rx, though...              What do you RX with? Have you played around much with the little SDR dongles?              I have a reallly terrible antenna at home, an attic dipole, cut for 1/2 wave       on 40m. I make contacts with it but hearing DX is sometimes impossible, BUT it       seems to be a decent shortwave receiving antenna when I get time to do any       SWLing. So I do a lot of operating outdoors in the parks, or parking lots with       a portable vertical antenna and my Elecraft K2.               In the US we have 3 license classes, my two 12 year old grandkids passed their       Technician Exam on the first try and when my grand daughter gets on the air,       as usual, it's an instant pile up. I think I saw you say you lived in Canada,       I am not familiar with the licensing there but I QSO with a lot of Canadian       hams (Canadian Bacons?) from here near Indy. I operate CW mostly, then some       SSB and very little digital.                      Regards,       Brian KB9BVN       --- WinPoint 398.2        * Origin: Pass the pizza (1:229/426.31)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/305       SEEN-BY: 129/330 331 153/7715 226/30 227/114 229/110 200 206 312 317       SEEN-BY: 229/400 424 426 428 664 700 240/5832 266/512 282/1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848       PATH: 229/426           |
