Nice conditions for sure. I made my first ever contact to Ireland this morning to 119 Ed!! Also made it to Yorkshire England 1505 Mark again from the mobile with a 100 watts.
Talked to the northeast USA as well. A little Jamaica is all I have now.

I have an Italian station calling "CQ west coast US or Canada" and has me pegged 60 over, amazing.
Boys, it's finally opened up here in this part of the world. East coast is blowing up the s meter with a heck of a pile up.
I'll be listening for you fellas so hopefully it keeps up

Why is it I cant find anyone local (Ottawa Canada) but, I was listening to south Florida and Texas today ? They were as clear as if they were next door.
skywave ionospheric propagation of high frequency radio (TEM) signals.
Actually today I was either mobile running my magnum s45 doing about 80 watts going to a 4 foot fiberglass antenna or using a 2 element beam a friend made for me. I have it set up redneck style at my mom's place down south of San Antonio. It is only about 15 feet high right now. Currently I have to spin the antenna manually. And am using the radio in the pea-cup to talk on.
I will probably sell my place in town and move there sometime soon. Then I will get that antenna up in the air with a rotor.
I was using that boomerang antenna when I made the dx trip down to Australia. Those antennas get a thumbs up from me for performance considering what it is.
I also finally made contact with 3AT 294 in Brazil, I had been trying for a few days.

SKYWAVE sounds like SKYNET... You have my attention.
From NE this afternoon. I was talking to Whiskey Walker today in Somerset, PA from my base in Washington, PA- Just south of Pittsburgh. It was base to base. 75 miles, that's is a bit far for my usual contacts. S6 incoming, clear with low level static on band.
I picked up the Chi Comm Cobra 29 from Goodwill for 12.99, mic included. 'Just got it back from Cobra CB Shop in Morgantown, WV this week. Gary put the tune on it. He's been around the shop since 1976. He tunes the 29s with the traditional swing mod installed. Gary's tunes always talk well and receive well. Cobra CB Shop has been in business at that location so long if you look it up online its listed as Cobra CB Shop and Television Repair.
