mr. barry chang bv4vq, my name is bob mc auliffe my call is w9prd. i am 82 years old, i have been a licened
amature radio operator for 61 years. in my 61 years i have
never had a qso with china.
i operate 40 meter c.w. exclusively. my equipment is a
icom 718, running 100 watts output. my antenna is a
4 element full size 40 meter beam. i use an open wire feeder system the antenna system is tuned by a mfj tunner. i have had excellent results into europe .
i would like to contact you on 40 meter c.w. i think we could do it, using the shoort path. aiming both our antennas
due north, i am very sure we both would be sucessful.
i am located in greensburg, indiana, which is about 55 miles se of indianapolis.
i operate daily/nitely, on 7030 khz up to about 7045, looking for dx. i can not operate below 7025 khz. i realize there is a12 hour time difference between us.
i am very flexable, regarding date, and time. i willleave that up to you, in fact any frequency that you would preferr
i the 40 meter c.w. band will be fine, as long as we aoperate above 7025khz.
thank you so much for reading my thoughts, regarding this endeavour. i know we would be sucessful.

thank you so much for answering my recent e-mail barry.
yes, barry you have my permission, to share and contact other amateur radio operators, regarding future scchedules with then on 40 meters.
tell them i run a icom 718, it runs about 120 watts output power, as indicated by my mfj tuner. i have a 1:1 swr on the entire 40 meter band. my antenna feed system is open wire system , that feeds 4 element full size 40 meter beam that is up 55 feet.
this beam is my own design, it is aimed at europe, it does a fine job into europe.
i am in the process of puting up another one, tht will be aimed at the north
pole. by going across the north pole, this
provides the shortest path to china. so if any chinese aim there antenna's twoard the north pole, we both will realize, perfect
antenna alignment, resulting in sucessful , qso's. of course we have to favorable conditions.
be sure and tell tham barry, i operate, 40 meter c.w. i operate on 7.030 to 7.040mhz . i generally operate around
2000hrs to 2200 hrs. thats (8:00pm est to
10:00pm est)
i am willing to work any time of day ar evening that will be convienent for them.
thanks again barry, i look forward hearing from them and you very soon.
very best of 73's,
bob w9prd
