12M Band opening
« on: November 23, 2020, 1503 UTC »
12M had some activity yesterday. I was able to work Aruba, Trinidad and Panama on USB using 5 watts and a dipole. Haven't worked 12 in quite some time. Glad to see the band active.

I heard a weak station in there as well on 12M yesterday. Maybe I heard you doing a band-scan. Thought that it might be folks looking to get away from contestants.

I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

Yup. I was definitely staying away from the contest stations. Gotta love the WARC bands!

I worked a little FT8 on the 12 meter band around that same date window with some success:

And our colleagues in Japan appreciated me as well (worked every Japanese station that answered my CQ...someday I might need the favor returned so made some coffee and answered one after another) on the 17 meter band:
