Send me an email & make a sked!

Eureka and surrounding Humboldt County currently have the disadvantage of  being 
linked  to the outside world by a  single fiber optic cable that stretches along 
Highway 101  for about  200+ miles.   On four  occasions in  2007, all  of which 
occurred during "working hours." this cable has been inadvertently severed  with 
a  total  loss (except  for satellite)   of all  communications.  When  the next 
outage happens, I plan to come up on 7268.5 and try to make contact with traffic 
operators who can help.

I now live in Eureka and currently have only one antenna, a HyGain 5BDQ  dipole.  
A K2/100/AL811Hd an Ameritron QSK-5 switch comprise the HF station.  For  widest 
possible  SSB  bandwidth (2.6KHz),  the S/N  0838 was  sent in  to Elecraft  and 
updated with all the mods  to make it the equilavent  of the S/N 6XXX now  being 
shipped.  A new Heil Gold Mike GM-5 was purchased for best modulation  envelope.  
I'm monitoring the 6 &  2 Meters and 70 cM  frequencies with an Icom T90A.

The following simplex frequencies are monitored at present:

6 Meters: 52525 KHz
2 Meters: 146460 146520 KHz
70 centiMeters: 445500 KHz

These are my repeater frequencies:

Far West Repeater Association:  Humboldt Hill 146700 -600 103.5PL
Mt. Pierce 146760 -600 103.5PL, Mt. Pratt 146610 -600 103.5PL
Horse Mtn 146700 -600 103.5PL,  Dinsmore 146980 -600 103.5PL

145470 Humboldt Amateur Radio Club (HARC) (Down Town Eureka)

443150 5000+ 103.5PL Manila

444400   "      "    K6VHP (Kneeland)

I usually don't break for 2 meter FM calls if I'm engaged in a QSO on some other 
mode, even though the scanner is on.

                                  HF

I have a sked  most mornings on 3550  KHz about 7 AM  with one or more  friends.  
Round-tables and joining stations are welcome.  Don't worry about your speed  we 
are  happy to go slow.  Lots  of the guys who are in  our group are less than 20 
WPM.  We don't mind slowing down; please join us !

Most nights I'm on NCN-1 at 7 PM on 3533 KHz, and I'm net control (NCS) on  some 
Wednesday nights.  If you're not in  Northern California, send me a message  via 
the National Traffic  System (NTS), I'll  be happy to  hear from you,  it's much 
better than e-mail.

If you should  hear me on  the air, during  random QSO's, please  BREAK-IN right 
away.  My biggest problem is available time &  if you wait for the QSO to end  I 
may miss my chance to talk with you.

Lastly, you might send me a QSL via eQSL.cc if I'm in your log !

Very 73,

TR, WB6TMY CFO #1000
