Channel 19 Am was skip heavy late morning and then after noon noise levels were so high that I had to turn rf gain really low. Weird conditions.

Forgot to disconnect the antenna, so went own to the shack about 9:30. Fired up the Rig and swung the antenna to the Southwest and talked with Tom 4WR001 in New Zealand. Nice 10 minute QSO. Then caught Victor Mike 00 also out of new Zealand for a short hookup. They said I was hitting them with 5-9 on their meters. They were only 3 on my meter, but good audio. First New Zealand contacts in a long time. Nice.

Was the same here on the Base and the mobile. I hope the Fall changes things around.

Conditions up here have been worse than bad for a couple weeks now. It's OK.....I was away for a while, now I'm home enjoying the sun, the beach, biking, boating etc. etc.
After all, it is summer time, the weather is warm and sunny, and the dark dingy shop where the radios live just isn't very appealing right now (especially when there's nobody to talk to anyways LOL) !

finally linked up with Mr 399 today, but conditions fell out before my little radio could make a qso. you sounded real good in northeast Ohio
@unit_399 isn't an easy trip. If you made contact, that's a win!
And I agree, he's been sounding top shelf lately.
runnin the blue face CRT on low power, i guess trying to prove to myself that power isn't required. much easier to do on upper sideband where there isn't any traffic. all about those conditions. keeping the meter south of 15w on peaks.

Good afternoon WDX members, just thought I'd fire up my Ranger and at the moment I'm on 38 LSB listening,as I'm on vacation until July 29th,So nice to have some radio time and spend time also with my Dad and rest up also, hopefully make some contacts out there........
Wishing you some nice relaxation, family time, and that you can get some big DX!
I seem to be experiencing a little up-swing in DX coming in lately. Don't want to brag because it will drop out from under me. Did hear Southern Cal. come in on my DX 2547 while I was bathing this morning and it sounded strong. That is a first to hear that area for me on the base. I think I have to check it out a little more but seems I have to turn up the modulation a little more on the DX 2547. Made a contact on my barefoot DX 979 while I was running to a cemetery for clean up work, but can't remember what state they were from. Been a couple days that I have seen a little more action on the radio but too many projects lined up to get involved. Cross the old fingers it last. I'm a dreamer ! LOL
Are you seeing any upswing in DX ? Your not that far from me. I probably pass right by you when I go to Carlisle.
