Well, I'm bummed. I didn't realize that the European version had six... Why doesn't the American version have six meters? Ah, I didn't know that. Whoa. Now, I figured, you know, I figured your version might have four meters, but... Ah, how about that? And no, my HF radio, though, does. And, you know, there's a lot of HF radios go up to, what, six meters. So, apparently, I'm all the A's now, pretty much. My Kenwood VHF radio is actually out in the shed. In fact, I used it for the Alaska morning, this morning. And, yeah, I have been on six meters. In fact, I even have a six-meter halfway horizontal loop, which is pretty cool. And I got a little tripod for it. And I just set it up in the backyard once in a while, you know, during the summer. And PLC, there's a new sporadic E coming. And, of course, they call it the Magic Band. And that's one of the reasons they do. During the summer, middle of the day, you get sporadic E. And, you know, I've picked people up on FPA from all over when the sporadic E's coming in. And if you have a really good sporadic E day, you talk to them on single sideband. And then, of course, you know, at the peak of the sunspots, you know, sometimes you just get propagation anywhere. The MUF, you know, can clear up as far as six meters. So, yep, it's most of the time you hear nothing. But when you do your stuff, it's magic. So there you go. Back to you. KI-7, pre-KL.
