Well thank you i really enjoy working the international stuff. Really enjoy talking it here in the US as well. I have been doing this stuff since back around 1975 and saw the good bad and ugly sides lol.
Speaking of IMAX, I had just about given up on mine and was thinking of taking it down and just using dipole and the Beams, but yesterday it came alive, only serious contacts were with the IMAX,just conditions I suppose. 73'sIn my AM world with the Imax 2000 @ 44ft up, I haven't heard a dang thing for weeks. Not even local stuff. Still waiting patiently.
Mobile was in there yesterday amongst the gridlock. Couldn't get reply, Mike in Phoenix was playing jerkweed, jamming things up.I keep listening for you, ENC, but all I have heard is NY and nothing else. It's been pretty lax the last few days.

There was much less skip rolling yesterday. Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Martinica were coming in. One T & T station was carrying on a rather lengthy conversation with a Columbus, GA station making it difficult for others to get through. As skip starts coming back, maybe this is a good time to ask folks to QSY to another SSB frequency if they want to carry on a conversation.
Seems like all my traffic has been to the NW Iowa, Chicago, ect, or the islands> I'll get ya one of these days, stay safe. 73'sI keep listening for you, ENC, but all I have heard is NY and nothing else. It's been pretty lax the last few days.

Hopeful we get some conditions today. Stay safe.73'sA bit if activity here today, but not like a few days ago. I mostly listened for new stuff.
