6 & 10 Meter Reception | Johnymac | on 20/8/16 |
I just received my Technicians level license. So I have been concentrating on 6 & 10M bands as per my privileges. To be frank, I have NOT been able to reach anybody. I do hear folks on occasion primarily folks using 6M repeaters but again not able to connect. My equipment list is: > Kenwood TS-590S with internal antenna tuner > 6 and 10 meter dipole antenna's with the SWR around 1:1 I was able to raise a friend on 6M planned test so I know the radio is working. Any thoughts with this minimal amount of information? :-) Is there propagation issues currently (August 2016) at the moment? 73 KC1FWU |
