Can't hurt, and sounds like it might be handy....just in case.

Good thinking.

I'll certainly keep it mind.

Perhaps a signin/signoff transmission of di...di...di...to indicate that the transmitter is familiar with ATS?

Hey, that's a Cool idea. I'm not authorized to transmit there yet, but I'll stop by when I'm upgraded to general in the next few months!

Those are great old radios. My Elmer ran twin Drakes and a quad antenna. Would be great to have a big gun setup like that. I have an old FT-101B that still works for 20M. Yaesu 857D in the mobile. Tiny radio.

It is possible to do great things with 100 watts and an antenna thrown up in a tree. Had a qso with New Zealand from the car on batteries at lunchtime at work one day.

Mostly operating now portable or mobile as I am living in a small rental. Automotive refugee from Detroit, found work in So. Cal. Very happy to be here.

Would be happy to try you on 10 meters an hour later. What frequency could you use?

I guess I will be net control to start. I am light on experience but have been a participant. As we go forward maybe we will find someone with a big gun setup and net control experience.

At 14.300 they have a schedule and operate 24/7. That is the marine mobile (sailboat) net. Very impressive, very organized.

There is an existing net at 2130 on 14.287 ... www.ascra.org... No one owns a frequency but we use common courtesy as radio amateurs.

So I am thinking move to 10 meters to a tech frequency at 2100. Suggestions and assistance welcome.

Right now I'm stuck on a 2 meter ht. I'm in college so I can't do a whole lot. Come spring I'm going to change that and pick up a Yaesu 857d. Hopefully then I catch up with you!

The 857D is a great radio. Once you get set up with that we can work on 10 meters. My portable setup is the 100 watt radio and a doublebazooka thrown up in any handy tree. www.radiowavz.com...
A great mode for long distance at low power is PSK-31, check it out.

If you are able to setup on echolink www.echolink.org... I will certainly make time to talk to you, maybe by way of a local repeater that connects to echolink. The repeater on Keller peak has a connection to echolink. On a good day, I could do that.

I think for check in's I will record call sign plus ATS handle and then after the net post a list here but only list the ATS handles, not the call signs.
