Hello,,,,,Coastal Nc here,,,,outter Banks,,,,BlackBeard Radio. Great pile up,,we'll done. Same swr meter in my Shack. First time viewer. Take care,,,73's!
Just discovered you, thank you! Wow, used to skip quite a bit with my old RCA base station with a starduster atop our porch roof that my Pop put up using only 4 watts.
Hi John listened for you with the fantastic opening we had to you guys across the pond the other day. But it was busy to say the least 🤣. Hopefully catch you another time . Best 73s. Wr456 UK . Keep safe 👍
I wish we could have made a contact, But I did have a lot of fun, there were people on every frequency from 27.365 - 27.605. I'll be listening for you next time. Take care WR456, 73's from 151 SC.
I'm guessing this was from yesterday. I was on also after 3pm and it was unbelievable the skip coming from Europe. I spoke to England, Italy, Scottland and Germany. Keep the videos coming MJ!
@@MowerJunkie it was good for here in central Wis about same time I hit Spain a German touring Spain for holiday got back Spain is one country I hadn't made contact before but have hit France Germany and Italy often but Spain has never made both directions have heard it but never contacted 398 Wis have good safe weekend coming
Sup MJ!! I just sold the same RS meter on Mktplce- for like 7.00😃 Peace out Bub!! Ive yet to hear ya on 27mgh- and I installed a little meter light in this one! Just a push button switch on top.😁
Copenhagen what a trip . Now that and the Germany mobile on the mountain 800 meters high only the barefoot mobile is awesome I love it. KC9LRA. Bob sandman 94 .
@@salvagegeekBecause of the solar cycle that's starting, I think a lot more people will be getting into the hobby. So you could have a lot more locals soon.
Great video ! The CB days 👍That was the gate that open up to getting into Ham Radio. So I can talk across the pond everyday. How much power are you running/amp etc ?
Hey mower Junction where you ever aware of the service or hidden menu that is in your anytone?. I have the same radio and let me tell you when you access those hidden menus you can really open up that radio and make it talk better louder and prouder. And also wideband the SSB as well
Hey mower junkie love the lawnmowers! Isn't mark 19960 one of your locals? I am looking for some negative loss scope tuned coax from new mexico and was wondering you were using that?
Hiya John stumbled on this whilst browsing TH-cam , nice to hear how I sound in this clip think the audio needs improvement thou. Mine that is keep posting stuff on TH-cam Regards 016- Alex in london
John, I have a computer power supply like the one you have that makes that noise on certain channels, I ran it into a small 12 volt battery and I didn't hear the noise , the same will work if you ever get a 60 cycle hum, you may know this already, just thought I would mention it, 73's from 169 Les , Northern In.
That's a nice looking radio, I didn't know there was a newer 5555. I just had an original 5555 on the bench the other day. I had assumed it was replaced by the 6666.
Great video and excellent audio. Do you capture the radio audio output from its external speker jack or do you use a microphone? However a few days ago it happened to me to hear you on 11m here in JN66CC qth locator.
why dont you use your clarifier to tune in a little better? Its been alot of years since ive been on the lsb and usb frequencies, but i never left the band drifted that far when shooting skip on the side band channels. not saying anything negative, just curious if maybe that radio drifts alot or if you just learned to deal with the off frequency, or maybe you just dont like to deal with the clarifier. cheers and 73s
Question. I have the exact swr meter from radio shack but it won’t calibrate so I can check. I’m new to the ballgame and was just wondering if there’s a way I could get that fixed.
I love it best skip in a long long time I love talking skip I did it for many years but just on AM I was one of them hard core big ass amplifier even bigger antenna ran a eight element maco flat side. And talked all over the world with my cobra 2000 and my old browning with a glen 326 VFO JB 2000 with a driver I removed the key tube and drove it with about one hundred watts then I went bigger and my tech.built me a six tube of the 500 z you know the story. About four thousand watts .then I realized you really only need about six or seven hundred watts to talk any where in the world on a good antenna I will tip my hat and wave my hand to all you DX ers 73s and 88s to the lady’s KC9LRA old man 94 sand man .

Hey mower we’re you using a amp
To get across the pond
Great contacts and very easy and clear to listen! 426/436 NJ (& other calls as needed 😅) up by Linden Airport.
why dont you use your clarifier to tune in a little better? Its been alot of years since ive been on the lsb and usb frequencies, but i never left the band drifted that far when shooting skip on the side band channels. not saying anything negative, just curious if maybe that radio drifts alot or if you just learned to deal with the off frequency, or maybe you just dont like to deal with the clarifier. cheers and 73s
the clarifier is unlocked on this radio, so if I tune in an off frequency station It would put my radio off frequency for both receive and transmit.
Great contact. Skip is good but when im at work unfortunately.
Take Care.

Any shop that works on radios should be able to fix your meter, But it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one.
