He was non stop, I did manage to get through to him.
Funny thing, I heard a guy in Tulsa Ok, like 3 1/2 hours by car away from me for the one who don't know.

Been enjoy the same openings as you guys from my position here in Dixie.
I think it's somewhere on this thread where one of the guys was complaining about hearing the station on 27.385L playing records of MLK speech(s). Finally heard that today around 1pm eastern. Big short hop conditions to Lousiana & east Texas strongest around the band at that time so it's possible the jerk is tx'ing from that area.

Have some time to DX…finally. Ya man, contact with Alabama, Georgia, So Carolina and the Gulf of Mexico. 249 Alabama and 63 So Carolina making a bunch of noise here!!
Made over a dozen contacts in the Pacific this morning, Strawberry and 619 on channel 11 , 005 in the grass, Showgun and Marlboro Man with big signals.
I could hear two guys in mobiles on the big Island talking but could not get in-between them.
The band switched and Pensacola came up.
All in the last 20 25 min.
I got stuff to do, no time to play radio......

Just like AudioShockWav I made a real good contact with 005 Hawai’i (Aaron). Real cool guy from my favorite state!!! Real excited cause Hawai’i is a challenge to make radio contact with.
Just happened to be home today have the scan going on and I got to hear motor mouth maul on channel 6.
Somebody didn't hear him try to make contact so he kicked it up and my meter hit the wall. $$$

You know it was such a big bang I forgot to check the channels next to his.
You can hear that thing thug when he keyed it.
Been wondering about since all the trees have their leaves now is that going to have a negative effect on the DX. A couple weeks ago with bare trees we were being hammered with DX.
Foliage has zero effect on DX. Foliage becomes a factor at VHF and above but not on 11m. Sunspots affect DX and as they move across the face of the sun conditions will vary.
Thanks CK for the knowledge. Who says you can't teach a old dog new tricks. I've been barking at the moon a long time just not with 11 meter. I squeeze it in when I can. LOL
Trying out the new setup here. A quad5n into a Kl-203p pushing 150w into the Sirio GPE 27 5/8. Been making contacts all over the SW this morning. AZ and CA in particular. Yesterday it was TX and scattered parts of the SE.

I like this radio. Especially the noise filters. Reports on the audio are very good. I dragged the old Stalker IX out the other day. I can't imagine I listened to that noise every day in the car.
These little amps are something else. 150 + watts in a package the size of 1.5 packs of cigarettes. I'm driving it with 3-4 AM and 8-10 SSB for about 100w output. Input swr is at the bottom of the scale. If only these were available back in the 70s and 80s.

Quick QSO with 888 North Carolina on the drive home! He sounded like he was in the next car over. Said I faded out then I turned east again and I was blaring! Told him I was in a mobile…a tad directional. LOL
Had some jackass giving his take on California politics whenever a Cali station would call CQ. Really?? Other stations from other states would tell him to shut up. LOL
