JT 65 once Again!!!

Not much has happened since I last posted. The bands have been up and down like a yo-yo. JT 65 however seems to have state side and some DX, Sunday I managed to have a very brief contact with Spain and Boznia. Of course you are limited to send a personal message  just since you can only send 13 characters. Saturday I will be traveling to Marion Ohio for the ARES conference, it will be a first for me. Then I will be working the race for the cure on Sunday, I will be in the SAG wqgon which I have been told is primary jub is to be an ambulance.

I almost forgot I have switch out my stationary position Elk antenna for a Jet Stream JTB 3 3 meter / 440 Mhz ground plane antenna. I have read some article on the antenna before buying it and it is well like unlike its larger model which received a lot of negative reviews. Right away I noticed the difference, I could get into Wauseon which I couldn't do before and that's a pretty good distance away from my QTH.

JACK POT!!!!

Like many other fellow Ham's I recently received a bundle of QSL cards from my inbound QSL bureau manager. K8MFO (Don) is my manager and he is out of Apple Creek Ohio. The bundle of cards I received were from the ARRL Centennial contacts I made roughly 2 dozen maybe more as I was not really trying. If I heard a pile up or somehow came across one in a contest. It sure was nice receiving them as it was the largest batch to date.

Thanks Don for being there! 73's everyone
