Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. I haven't had a pet in years, but I look forward to getting off the road soon...so hopefully I can get a couple of dogs to keep me company. I had 2 Australian Shepherds at separate times, I really enjoyed those dogs.

Crazy good conditions around the Houston,Tx area today. In the morning I heard the northeast corner, later in the morning it was the Pacific Northwest. I just listened until I heard German, Italy, and Ireland. My only contact across water was to 030 Derrick I believe in southwest Ireland. I...

I made 3 or 4 contacts up the northeast from South Texas this morning. Skip seemed to be rolling good, then just like that nuffin'

Yesterday evening I was hearing Brazil and Australia at the same time. Skip has been in and out for me down hear in South Texas. I have made a few contacts to California on up to Vancouver this past week. Even made a rough contact to Costa Rica the other day.

I had some decent midwest conditions this morning down here in south Texas. I made zero contacts up north. My only contact was a good one out to Arizona. I shutdown early today after 3 busy days of running loads. Nothing in my receiver right now an hour south of Houston.

Had some great skip this morning as well around San Antonio. I made contacts to New Hampshire. Massachusetts, Connecticut a few minutes later I made contact to Washington state. All is quite now though.

I had about an hour and a half of Rollin yesterday. Same ole same ole. NIST calibration, Faraday cage, windowlickers, blah blah freaking blah. I heard a couple of guys going through Lordsburg giving it right back at him. Of course he talked about how bad they sound and how they were bleeding...

It's just part of his scam. Barefoot mudduck mobile, my arse

I certainly hope the radio police don't come a knockin'

I like my MFJ 870 meter, although it is too large for me at least in the mobile. It is good for the house. Seems to be a little stingy on max power reading. Seems to be great for reading SWRs and reflected power. My only complaint is the knobs to switch power settings, cal, swr are awful. I...

You probably heard a guy in Alabama using echo. I made contact with him a day or two ago. I didn't care fir the echo he was running either. But, I must say I am digging the FM mode more then I thought I would.

I do believe it is the official unofficial freeband frequency. I talked with a guy from southeast Missouri last night and had a good conversation. He told me that today is the one year anniversary of a facebook group using 26.805 FM. So today they are doing a call log in. I heard a couple of...

I talked to somebody in Kansas and he told Sunday is going to be an all day 8am-9pm check in on 26.805 FM or something to that effect.

Hope you get some good rain. It is looking rough down here.

The dx is rolling down here around San Antonio. I made a few contacts to the Midwest on ssb, so I gave FM a try and made two solid contacts. One to Missouri and the other to Iowa. And I made rough contact to Alabama. Not bad for a mobile! The contacts were on 26.805

Pretty much dead, but so has dx for the most part as well. I had made a couple of rough 800 mile-ish contacts about two months ago. 26.805 is where I made contact.

Your learn when living out in the country to always be aware of your surroundings. Don't see to many rattlers where I am but they are around. We have more copperheads... It doesn't matter even if it's a garden snake they still freak me out. I don't know how calm I could stay after getting bit...

The other day as a cloud of dust from the west rolled into south Texas I heard a voice on channel 19 saying the Version 2 Strykers are a bigger splatterbox out of the box then the original Stryker. Then the voice was saying something about window lickers and Faraday cages, then the voice faded...
