No problem Brother Dxer, Maybe next time my Friend,I'm watching a really good documentary on Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War at the moment, have a great time watching the game, take Care and God Bless you and your Family!!Hey Steve.. I didn't have the radio on as much as I'd hoped today. About 30 minutes this morning, then again from around 2:45 to right now... 3:45 central.
As I write this, 010 Hawaii is still booming in! We had a nice qso a few minutes ago. Also had a qso with BC Coyote. I need to send him an invoice for a new speaker.
I also heard JJ doing all the good out there as well. I couldn't seem to make that trip today.
I just started hearing Australia coming in...
San Fran and the Saints will be playing @ 7 my time. No more radio then....

I remember them days feeding a wood stove and a wood boiler furnace to heat this monster of a 2 family home. About kicked my butt. Now I have to do coal because the old bod isn't what it use to be, but love that wood heat after freezing outside all day.
Hey guys I got myself a little uniden 505 xl mostly truckers in my area. I'm near interstate
Been hearing some activity, but no matter which radio I shout from I can't seem to get a come back. It gets discouraging.
Jamaica was a big player today and once I gave up on the base stations and decided to go for groceries the McKinley swung into action. First time I ever heard Oregon in any of my radios & then Southern California come blasting in like it was next door. Never heard anything out of Texas, Florida or the rest of the South which usually comes in here. Crazy day for sure but good to hear the radio alive an well !
Got on at 2:30 in the PM. Lots of DX from all over. At 5pm I could still hear a lot of stations, but no one could hear me. Tried again after 7pm, and same result. I could hear, but wasn't getting out to anybody. Peanut whistle station in the evening for the past 3 days.

easy cure.shut radio off cut wood or be cold this winter.Great conditions again here today! I am juggling cutting firewood with talking on the radio LOL! I really should be focusing on the wood...........
38 is a wall of noise, but I made several contacts on 37 and then moved down to 26.805 FM and made several more down there including to Maine, Wisconsin, Ontario and Mexico.
Lots of interesting stuff coming in on 555 as well.
If only the darn wood would cut itself!

Well not wishing bad luck on anyone but good to see I'm not alone with radio frustration. I don't have as much experience as some so sometimes I think maybe I expect too much out of my radios as far as if I can hear them I want to reach out and connect to them. I know I probably don't have my radios tuned and synced as well as they could be due to my lack of training & experience but I'm working on it. LOLGot on at 2:30 in the PM. Lots of DX from all over.

Hey JJ I heard you calling around that time yesterday but couldn't get back to you. Also heard several stations out of the midwest hollering at you around the same time. So you were definately getting out!Got on at 2:30 in the PM. Lots of DX from all over. At 5pm I could still hear a lot of stations, but no one could hear me. Tried again after 7pm, and same result.

Really amazing conditions here again yesterday....... and today it's totally dead; nothing but static right now. Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug LOL!
last nite incoming was strong outgoing bad. i shut er off at 1130 n listened to a deputy sheriff who was cornered by a dearranged bull on a road. he was in a tree with his walkie talkie. im sure when the others decided he was safe in the tree they took their time getting there. couple had a snicker in their voices
Sitting on channel 37 and heard 399 Colombia talking to 178 DXMan just south of me in Washington state, and now there's a pileup of about twenty guys all trying to call 399 LOL! Mayhem on there right now........
Hopefully I'll be able to sneak a call in there eventually!
