I've got noise from all over today. The big stations are dominating the frequency. Still have the adolescents out there raising hate and discontent.

And a few of those big stations key up and call CQ right on top of a station they just finished a QSO with after that station has initiated a contact with someone else. Wrecks a lot of contacts, I hear it often.
Conditions better yesterday. Did have a contact with 414 in Chicago and a nice QSO with 54 in Dallas Texas.
Mother Nature wasn't in my corner today, I could hear some stations in SoCal and Oregon but no one could hear me
Had contact with South Carolina and Ontario Canada on the drive home this evening. Australia was booming in but I could not make a contact.

This morning the background static is running s 3-4 even when I was mobile up on Mount Bullion.
Generally it is quite up there away from everything.

Only one contact today with 2 world radio 790 in Pennsylvania, conditions were not in my favor apparently, gave up after that. I plan on getting 4 more 102 whips to replace the Wilson's I'm using for ground radials, upgrading my coax and hooking up the Eagle 500 Amp. Maybe I can bust through some of the pile ups a little easier then.
2:1 SWR due to snow buildup on the antenna. Maybe try DX a bit later when it melts.
This is the first time we've had to fire up the snow thrower. We got about 6".

Throw a 64 pill in line…all that snow will melt with all that RF coming out!!!
I haven't been trying to talk too much dx the last few days. I have been in a listening to music mood. I have quite a few playlist and have been really enjoying them. However i still check the old walkie talkie too hear what is going on.
I like to listen to 27.555 USB to try to make contact after a QSY to quieter frequencies.
Anyway, this morning I heard a station in Germany talking to somebody that I could not hear. After they were finished I called out and the guy in Germany came back to me. I had a good copy on him. But I was difficult on his end but we talked for a couple of minutes. So that was exciting talking to Germany for the first time.
I was running a barefoot 955 and a 4 foot Firestik. I was down at the bottom of Louisiana around Port Fourchon. The contact was made on 27.612 USB. Gotta love freeband. 38 is just too much nonsense sometimes although it can be entertaining at times. You just never know what you might hear.

Just to let you know I received my Lincoln II+ today and I'm not a real happy camper. It appears as if this one is related to my first McKinley and Off Frequency and looks like tomorrow I have to start dealing with the President repair system Again. I give up, it is unbelievable, I might just pull the plug on this hobby if all it is is aggravation.
The freehand has been rocking for the past 3 months. You can work bout any where in the world if you listen. Cluster DX is a great site to monitor for the rare stations.

Woo-hoo had for my first contact to Wales this morning on 27.595 USB. Also a few good contacts to southern California.
