Title: What I heard Portable
Post by: mark-n-nut on August 18, 2009, 1632 UTC

I was camping this last week in the Uinta Mountains, about north central Utah.  Took along the R-75 on a battery and used a long wire antenna, about 200 feet.  What a difference not having to use a noise blanker, amazing how weak the signals are that you can hear.  Heard A, OK, MO, TMP, 4089 ditter, Hexie, Kelsie, W(ind), Sally, Rocky, Rainy, Hexy2k, S (8000), Pike 78, OR, F, Pike 26, Echo and CO. 

Hearing Sally again was nice.   Was pleased to hear Echo again.  It got quite strong up there.  Looked for Blinky but never heard it at the times I listened.

73, Mark
