QSO Party for Nov 6, 2010

KC2WQW De K9YAP That time I had a bit of noise, but the latter part of the message got thought.. does your software have the map that shows where your station is being picked up globally? ga

KF3RRY KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP I only caught the end of that about a filter upgrade. Our solar flare is probably still messing with us.

K9YAP de KC2WQW you are coming through fine on my end. We got a couple of folks on the band near us splattering.

KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP There is also like a year waiting list to get thru to the ISS.. Good Charity Ratio. No Field day during AC this year, but maybe we can still do an event there if no dweeb ruins it for us. GA

KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP It was Rainy a couple days ago, and dropped into the mid 4Ø's last night here.. Used a fursuit to keep warm :>

KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Well, I also caought a concrud working myself hard last weekend with all the haloween events, Furloween, FPS, other stuff, that I let my imune down and caught a icky head cold, so that is making me feel more cold than I should.. I typically open the windows and love the cold. GA

c, and Purell should be in every furra I ra,ely if ever get con crud. I don't normally take care of bringing anything more then maybe purell with me to cons, but then again I also have a really sttong immune system when it comes to that stuff. btu K9YAP de KC2WQW k
20:06:55> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Working For Disney, I get a soup of disease from all around the world.. But Generally concrud hit because not that the risk of germs is higher, but by people lacking in sleep, and proper nutrition, lets their immune guard down. ga
K9YAP de KC2WQW 621 rule man, its there for a reason. Bu yeah I know what you mean. Con crud is easy for most people to get because they don't do the 621. Thankfully I live by that. That and I come from Jersey. :P btu K9YAP de KC2WQW k
20:09:45> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP I'm lucky, if when staffing, I get 531 << I loves me food.. but sleep? Hard to get when anxious.. and the "1" well Most of the time.. but I can't uphold a fursuit marathon and keep a musky husky reputaion, now can we? GA
K9YA· = Kei2WQW hihihi well fursuiters I think

20:13:15> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Luckily I spare my roomies now, I am on a CPAP, so I'm no longer the source of the epic snoring in the room.. Ear plugs for me, and I'm all set :> The year at AC when I wore suit for 85 hours straight, not even endbac or fabreeze could win :> ga

K9YAP de K
2WQW got my Onsils tan out for that. I used to shake the house with my snoring. Of course of my friends I don't know who is worse... My friend Jahk who is likewradio with his snoting.. on & off on & ii..<ependingeled o er itas tuning a VBO knmeb hihi. Or my friend Moon. My god one time I swore I heard a goat and he was speaking in tongues! hihi btu K9YAP de KC2WQW k

20:17:30> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP My old roomie would stop breathing for like 3Ø seconds, and then crash with an epic snore.. was imposible to sleep, because it followed no rythm.. He got CPAP and it was much better.. For sure I gained a bit easier ability to get up in the AM, and I no longer have issues with Acid Reflux at night. Diring my sleep study, they found I was waking myself up like 9Ø times an hour.. and O2 levels in the 7Ø's. Ga

KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Funny, how the topics we are talking about are so un-typical.. We are not ego boosting over our Gear LOL.. My Radio is bigger than your! Nyah! ga

KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Most of that broke up.. I know GrayWolf tried to over complicate a fox with a HT and a controller, but the cable failed on him.. they now make a fox that clips on a 9V battery for $6Ø so simple :> ga
K9YAP de KC2WQW do you know the brand of it? Might look into that. Fu tat FF tla e

Äcause they were all using stubby antennas for raeir HTs. I think I was the only one who didn't have that issue because I had a full size tri-band whip for mine. I was thinking about getting a wouxon HT or Mobile for 222mhz and maybe usiog it for a split Qmhz

KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Look in IRC for the URL.. Accuracy needed for URL :> ga
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Stations in South America are picking up our conversation.. Just looked at the world map.. Kinda cool :> Something in the ocean south of Cuba as well.. Dunno if it's a boat, or and island. ga

20:38:41> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Digital Master 78Ø, A Part of HRD, has the mapping program.. Stations report to the internet other stations they hear, and this map shows where you are seen.
K9YAP de KC2WQW ah

eorts that. I know it doesn't tave a map though I'm pretty sure there is a webpage for that. Currently I am looking to get into KSPR, are you familiar with it? btu K9YAP de KC2WQW k
20:40:44> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP As much as I Despise Windows.. HRD is really the only well built program for Ham that I see as robust as it is. I do not know what KSPR is, no.. GA.

20:43:42> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP I just googled it.. Looks neat.. I'm not one to dedicate leaving my gear run 24/7 tho.. Too much lightinging here in lightning capital, and trying to keep my power bill down :> ga
TWQW well the good thing is you doe't have to leave your gear on 24/7. You can just run it when you want to see where you might be heard. Its useful for some of the other digital modes like CW, JT65, and Olivia/Contestia. btu K9YAP de KC2WQW k
20:46:04> Main
KF3RRY - KC2WQW de K9YAP Does not look like anyone else is going to join us today. Unfortunetly I have to work tommorrow, so will not be able to try again.. I barely get home in time to start FPS. ga.
K9YAP de KC2WQW yeah its understandable though. If it wasn't for that flare it probably would ha× goB off withoue 3etely understand your situation with the FPS.e I eehad coeh e ereearlier in the aftze t be ableto watch the show over at Rintetail's him. bt o KkY
