After the recent purchase of my rig from KC0QLU, I have tried multiple times send cq's via cw as well as phone with no luck. Is the band just shut down that hard or is it everyone thinks it is so they dont try. Are there any nets or users that would like to get ine going localy. I am eager to make my first qso. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If there is a local ham that ia good with a slow cw sender and is willing to give it a try i am on the N0SWP repeater alot feel free to contact me there or on here. Thank you
