Great round table chat on HS4 434.500 with CY0/VA7FT, 2HS6874, 348HS136, ZL3MA and KS1K participating.

70CM and 2M are great bands for rag chew.

Please try it out some time.

HamSphere Ragchewer's Lounge / Great Rag Chew

« on: February 12, 2021, 21:26:13 UTC »

Thanks Felix HP3FGA for a wonderful rag chew today on Hamsphere 4. 

I heard Felix calling CQ on 10meters during the 1400 hour.  As always the N-S path between us was superb.  My azimuth to Felix is exactly 181 degrees. Not a transequitorial path as David Panama is at 8+ degrees North.   This has been a very good path for as long as I can remember.  Felix was using the IDC vertical antenna and just prior to our contact he had a contact with 1HS3744 in Sicily Italy. 

Not only is Felix fluent in Spanish and English, he does very well in Italian.  He called Giuseppe Fratello. 

There is nothing better than a meaningful rag chew.   Felix and I have been doing this for a long time.   I know where he went to school in Vermont.  I consider him family and treasure our conversations.   

We need more of this activity on Hamsphere and Amateur Radio.   

Thanks OM Felix whose birthday is coming up later this month.
