Hello Everybody im currently living at my friends house near a little town called Stirling in southeastern Ontario. In the evenings, il be found on 38 lsb 27.385 trying to call out anybody who wants to chat. My handle's the Lumberjack or 351 and im looking for people to talk to around the area in the evenings. So anyone who happens to be out on 38lsb in the evening -10:00 pm give the Lumberjack a holler. Im running a Galaxy DX94hp with my wilson 5000 antenna mag mounted to the roof. Unless anybody knows of any SSB 11m clubs around this area. The extra channel mod has also been done with my radio, so give a holler!

Welcome to the forum from Tennessee. I'll look for you on skip when Canada comes in. Right now most of my skip comes from california. Every once and a while ill hear Canada but not often. I've talked to the same stations in california over and over. 4444 in LA I've spoke with 3 or 4 times in the past month. Nice older gentleman. 359 in Phoenix AZ I've spoke to a couple of times. I'm starting to get a lot of Colorado stations now too. Talked to a truck driver in bolder for 5 minutes yesterday. 5353 was his number he was headed to Seattle. So I'll be looking for you for sure. I've not made any contacts yet with another CBRT member that I know of. I always give a CBRT plug when on dx.

Sounds good man i look forward to the next round of good conditions for the eastern US to Canada. The most reliable skip conditions and the most people ive made contacts with have been between my place and tennessee, North Carolina, and georgia. Ive made contacts with plenty of people with the ol pro 510xl 40 channel, but look forward to working conditions with my new Galaxy. I look forward to hearing from you for sure!

Hello and welcome, Bill94 - Will, to the CBRT Forum from 10 X-Ray 47 (SSB) from the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.

I hope to catch u in the forum and on the airwaves. Will look u up.

There are so many operators on this site with years and years of radio experience.

You have come to the right place for fellowship, fun and/or learning.

Do not be afraid to ask.

Hey I’m in Mississauga. Not much radio traffic here, get some skip once in a while. Too much interference. Will have to raise my antenna, currently have a Shakespeare Big stick up around 25 feet. Also my unit has only 23 channels.
