Go figure, I'm out on the job and can't partake.
But AM 19 is blowing and going with skip from all directions.
Boy... They let the inmates out of the asylum today, and they all gathered on 38LSB.

Thanks for the tip. Sunbulls just repaired my little 19 ultra for me and it is really walking the dog in modulation so I'll have to try it out if I can reach those guys. Many Thanks to Sunbulls !
One of the previous owners of my 139XLR modded the clarifier. The 5 khz swing was just too touchy on the stock control , so I switched to a 10-turn pot. Still a PITA. So I put the Cobra on the bench and set the clarifier back to stock. Never did like unlocked clarifiers, because tuning in an off-freq station put my transmitter off-freq too. I had not done a realignment after recapping it, so I figured while it was on the bench why not. The transmit was almost spot-on, but the receive was way off. Even after realigning, it was really sad for an 858 . Looked it over and found that someone had done a 2SC2999 mod to it. Put a stock 2SC1307 in, and when I hooked it up, the receive had come back to life!! No more "alligator radio."
Talked to "Double Zero" (Steve) in Aukland New Zealand yesterday afternoon . When we got our antennas aligned, we talked for a solid 30 minutes on 38LSB. Best QSO I've had since getting back on the air.

That's a nice contact there, @unit_399 !
My radio hasn't been giving me any love at all. I turned it on again, just a few minutes ago and I got Nothing! Zip, Zilch, Nichts, Nada, Niente!!

Wow. I'm surprised. I've talked to several texas stations, and heard a lot of stations in the southeast corner talking to them too
