My AnyTone 5555 N II talking to France!

[niceguy71]

The atmospheric conditions were incredible today!!! I talked to 20 people in the UK then Ireland then Scotland then Germany... Jamaica and South America and a Mobile in Mexico!!..... after a half hour I realized I should have recorded it.... so I started to record at the end and was very excited to make a good contact in France... this was my first contact to France and I'm extremely happy with my base station ... it's a Antron 99 that is 48 feet to the tip of the antenna and works great. ... video of my base station to come very soon

Yank operators and their French Canuck collaborators?

I was trying to get the Linc V2 & W-M CLRspkr dialed in. All I got was a Paul in Parker (County).

Where I’m parked.

West of Fort Worth.

Gonna have to find a better spot (down in a creek draw).

The base station equipment vid is welcomed. Plenty of guys will be glad to see what you have as the whole thing sounds so good.

Here’s another example of how one can expect to be heard when one acquires a modern radio. USB, LSB, FM, and AM (needs a touch of work on mic plosives). Base to Mobile:

I spent time yesterday running errands using my 2021-acquired Lincoln 2+ thru a typical aftermarket speaker in a temp set-up in my pickup. Nothing but hash for the signals deciphered on AM-19 in a huge US metro region. I could dial back RFG, and increase SQ, but experience told me I was limiting myself to distances becoming too short for planned actions.

This was with P-E transceiver choke installed.

Once home I installed the W-M ClrSpkr and it all became resolved. Clear.

Every aspect of RX/TX is 99% better.

The always good audio of the OPs videos highlights this. He probably sounds better at the other end given NRC gear than what we hear above.

“Distance” isn’t a barrier when the systems of the radio rig support these modern radios. There are moments it is amazing (what I perceive as the ostensible reason for the video of this thread).

It's a good feeling when you make a long distance contact like that. You look at your equipment and say man you are doing exactly what I want you to do.
