We're getting these same results here. I've been hoping for some international contacts. Maybe this weekend.

The DX commute was an interesting one today. Conditions consistently changing from some to none...
A few stateside contacts and to my surprise a qso with Triple One Five Southwest England. A crystal clear qso to England from the mobeel, heck yeah I'll take it!

Had a nice long QSO with 226 West Texas this afternoon ! It was really great to talk to you Rod ! You were sounding great up here on the west coast of Canada.
Yes Sir, It was great talking to you as well. I haven't had a 30 minute uninterrupted qso in a long time! You were sounding choice on the Q5N2! Thanks for the great qso!

Conditions here are so so today. If you sit tight for a while, you'll get in a decent qso. It's been moving in and out, but mostly out. It was like this yesterday but got better as the day went on.
I've had several qso's on FM today. But it's a waiting game as well.

The ride home today was quite a pileup. A few contacts when I could bust through. Had a clear lengthy qso with 502 Kyle in Florida talking on a 99N2. I was quite surprised at how nice the audio was from that radio. First time to hear one of those on the air and say it definitely left a good impression.
Spent most of my day changing the thermostat in my Expedition,( And I'm not a auto mechanic ) and when I got done I took it for a ride to supper. Was not impressed with what I heard on the 11 meter radio. Hope it's not a sign of the season change. We will see when all the leaves are out.
Went down to lock up the shack at 11:30PM last night and also to disconnect the antenna. Fired up the rig, and 36 & 37 were full of skip. I talked to several stations. Amazing to have conitions that late at night.

Conditions are a bit TOO good today........ Scanned from 27.360 to 27.800 in 5 KHz steps and there are stations from all over the globe on EVERY single frequency. Often two or three deep.
Not my idea of radio fun ! I never was a highly competitive person......
Hopefully it will calm down a bit after the Easter weekend.
And on a slightly related note; how do some people manage to be on the radio ALL THE TIME ?
There are people I hear calling away when I get up in the morning, all day long every day, and they're still calling away as the skip fades away at night. 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
There are lots of them on 36, 38, 425, & especially 555..... I'm sure we all know who some of them are......
When do they sleep? When do they work? When do they eat?
What are they gonna do when conditions die in a few years?
So many questions, so few answers.........

Good Afternoon Brother DXer. I am with you. It has been quite for me in central MS today. Between mid morning and early afternoon I made one contact, because he is basically the only station I heard. It was 533 in Colville Washington and he was hitting with a 10+ signal and good audio. Other wise it was just static. Hopefully conditions will improve tomorrow. Have a great evening and happy DXing.Ha!And I've had absolutely nothing today.
Well my friends, enjoy your conditions.

@tshows Yes Sir, hopefully we'll have better conditions tomorrow. I still haven't given up on the thought of decent conditions tonight. It doesn't happen too often for me, but sometimes I'll turn the radio on well after dark and I'm surprised with Australia coming in.
73's and happy dxing!
