Nice to hear that some of you were able to make contact. It was quite here in central MS on 16 LSB this afternoon. It has been raining here most of the day. It is suppose to be a sunny day tomorrow so hopefully conditions will be better.
A little skip rolling into central Mississippi this morning. Talked to 8255 in Phoenix, AZ and 311 in New York city around 10:00 am. The skip started to drop out after that and it was basically gone by 10:30 am. Hopefully it will pick back up later today.
Yesterday afternoon was good. Heard California, Nevada and Canada. Was able to make contact with 657 in Saskatchewan Canada and 3497 in Northern Nevada. The conditions had pretty faded out by 5:00 pm CST.

You can also find it on Amazon.com.
Main problem with D104M6B I purchased in May of 2011 is the switch getting scratchy. I have found some silicone spray lubricant that really helps, but I still have to lubricate the switch every 3 to 4 months depending on how much I use the mic. I wish there was a better quality switch...
I heard Florida. New York, Missouri, etc. yesterday morning, but no one was able to hear me. Oh well, at least it wasn't quite. Hopefully July will be a better month than June.
