Anyone in San Bruno or Pta Chivato near their marine radio RIGHT NOW?!
I am the radio voice/tournament control for a tournament in San Carlos, Sonora, today. We are on channel 63(A), USA frequency.
I'm up about 120 feet and using a radio that is a bit over the conventional 25 watts. I would love to see if anyone over there can hear me.
Maybe hail me on 63 by calling "tournament control" and identifying yourself as a "station in Chivato" or "station in San Bruno".
Heck, if you can hear me in Juncalito or ANYWHERE on Baja, give me a shout.
I wont be able to do much more than acknowledge you, but I'd love to see if I am being heard over there. If I dont reply, it could be because a boat
is reporting in a fish that YOU might not be able to hear.
Tournament ends at 4pm, MST, over here.
We could talk a little more at length after the tourney is complete for today. I have to stay on mic until the last boat is safely back in a harbor.

I thought maybe so, Russ. Tell me about your radio setup? Power output? Height of antenna? How would you rate my transmission; XLNT, Good, Average,
Fair, Poor?

species.

We monitor channel 74 in San Bruno and we hear the Sat. report and market frequently. The person who did that was up on the hill, I think, and during
good conditions he came in loud and clear.
