Last Tuesday the 1st was the best I heard so far this year. All the channels were very active. I noticed something I never heard before. Organized skip shooting was happening on Ch 1. It started out with a moderator from Missouri. He was directing stations to call back that lived in only one particular state. Eventually he covered most of the states in the U.S. Mobiles were even given priority. He then handed the operation over to a moderator from another part of the country and so on. It seems these moderators were using the typical net type operation found on the Ham bands. Surprisingly most of them on the channel were cooperating by taking their turn instead of usual chaotic “only the strong survive” bash. I hope this is going to be trending into the future.

Conditions were great yesterday. Most channels busy with 38 all jammed up. So I checked the upper channels and came to 27.455 LSB that had a few people calling. I ended up in a 4 way QSO with Illinois, Florida, and Potts town Pennsylvania. We talked for almost 20 min. on this quiet channel and talked about all kinds of stuff, until my phone rang. I was talking on my Galaxy 99v with a D104m6b set at 1, a 203 and the Vector 4k. This would have been impossible to do with a beam as the other 3 guys were in completely different directions. Looking forward to more great DX this coming weekend.

@Shadetree Mechanic I was the guy near Pottstown trying to get back to you last week. That Vector4 is doing a great job for you. I had a real good copy on you, but seemed like I was having trouble getting back to you. I have 4 element Gizmotchy beam pointed south. Never talked to anyone in Dover before so was anxious to see if I could 'make the trip'.
