17:22 WW8II-BRUCE: I did see a 1db D layer absorption
17:24 KG0VL-JEFF: See you boys tomorrow. Welcome home Bruce, I bet you are tired.
17:24 WW8II-BRUCE: OK I wqill copy and save logs now
17:25 WW8II-BRUCE: I slept the clock around Jeff
17:25 WA4LDU-JOE: Bruce, the rig works great! It did take some study to learn how to use it
17:26 WW8II-BRUCE: You have more patients than me Joe
17:26 WW8II-BRUCE: I was readsy to yake itr out back for target practice
17:27 KG0VL-JEFF: Which Rig did you buy Joe?
17:28 WA4LDU-JOE: IC-9700
17:29: *** KP2AE is now offline ***
17:30 WW8II-BRUCE: I like my old FT 736R I do not have tio read a BOOK ON HOW TO AND NO phd NEEDED FOR OPERATION
17:31 KG0VL-JEFF: Have you finished your studio set-up Bruce?
17:31 WA4LDU-JOE: that FT736R is an excellent rig
17:31 WW8II-BRUCE: i do not do digital: anything ssb am cw
17:32 WA4LDU-JOE: The 9700 is much more sensitive than my old rigs so I can hear much better
17:32 WW8II-BRUCE: tHE STUDIO IS STILL INB PROGRESS READY TO STArt bringing in the 14 to 16 cavles and wires but that will be when trhe WX is warmer
17:32 KG0VL-JEFF: I need to move into the 20th century as well.
17:33 WW8II-BRUCE: That is what my SSB preamps are for
17:34 WA4LDU-JOE: do you know where I can find some reasonably priced SSB preamps?
17:34 KG0VL-JEFF: Still looking for a medium/high power 432 amp, little out there.
17:35 WW8II-BRUCE: I contacted 7 stations on the IC9700 one was using a horizonal beam the rest were either rubber ducks or dual band vertical mag mount to the tops of thier radios
17:35 WW8II-BRUCE: LOGS SAVED 73
17:36 WA4LDU-JOE: 73 all
17:37 KG0VL-JEFF: See you guys tomorrow. 73
