Yep..sure wuz...I made a couple contacts to Tennessee which was pretty good (as crazy as the band was) considering my Lincoln II+ tanked
so I was using my old-but-trusty Cobra 138

what in the world!!!
Yeah, I know!! Powered it ON and the usual bands weren't there (24 and 28 MHz only), so I thought "okay, I'll just redo it", but except for being able to do a reset, the menu setting where I'd punch in the code just sez "Err xxx" so I couldn't get to it (only the reset worked). I opened it up to verify the resistor was doing it's job, and it was. Needless to say, I'm bummed out about it.

An excellent night on 37, 38, 39 LSB before I had to wind down and call it a day. A page full of contacts from Minnesota, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California man they were all crystal clean. Unusual considering how conditions have been for some time now.

It was a good DX night indeed. Contacts with varied locations. Two Canadian provinces and seven different U.S. states. Numerous contacts in the states listed.
Quebec, Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, New York, Illinois, Arkansas, Texas.
Favorite contact was yet again with forum member CB590 in Unidilla New York. That was either the 2nd or 3rd time we've connected on the radios.

So much here on 21-28 Am I can't get to 38 SSB ! 357Magnum has a direct line to Tn, Ky , Georgia & Sc ! As they say 357Magnum ... Back quiet !
But I did have to use my " Ice Breaker " @ first " Poppa John 1940 in Ri " 3800 watts ! A lot more than my little 2 pill .

I made a few contacts today but mostly just listened. Had other projects going on.
But then heard forum member CB590 in New York coming through my speaker again today. Called out to him and he replied. Two days in a row.

Not looking bad. Just wet. Temps today (to MO line stop point) from low of 52F to 62F high.
Temps at destination projected highs at 40F and better from Monday.
It’s on Thursday it may matter. Headquarters waaay on up in MN.
But more likely I’ll be headed zig-zag back to Texas to load remaining gear into tractor.

Spent part of last nights tornado watch and this mornings snow setting up radio gear in/on my pickup.
Threw the truckdriver gear into the rental, and made doggoned sure coffee mug & thermos present
Moved radio gear to rental as last step. Strapped radio & speaker to formers transport case. Buckled seatbelt around it.
Made a good guess where to drop tri-mag. Snaked coax thru back window. Used Frog Tape to seal.
Slid into into drivers seat and got out never-used cigar lighter power cord (with spare fuse I taped to it last night).
Wow.
There’s no outlet.
Anywhere.
Zip.
Nada.. 11-Meter is SO QUIET I can’t even hear Recons dog snoring.

No conditions 2 nights after a such a good one... Feels like I had a great appetizer but the actual dinner dish never made it. What an unexpected tease has left me wanting now
