I had my first two HF contacts this evening on the KB6Q remote, located here in Nipomo, CA. I spoke with Earl, N6ECE in Culver City, and also Moody, WQ6I in Claremont. Both were very friendly, and helpful. They came in quite clear–and they were apparently able to make out my transmissions as they both copied my name, call sign, and locaiton. They both also knew Oje, KB6Q. It’s a small, world out there on HF. Pretty cool making the contacts. It’s a whole different communication than on quite 2 meter and 440 frequencies–but certainly understandable. Looking forward to making further HF contacts as time goes along. Looking forward to getting my own equipment as well.
The contact was approximately 10:10 p.m. on 80 meters, 3908.000 frequency. I listened in for several minutes more after our QSO’s just to hear them jawbone about life–pretty interesting.
