Good opening into Europe this morning. Numerous contacts all over there.
Nothing but static on my mobile today just west of St Louis. NOAA forecast looks like Tuesday afternoon might take a turn for the better.

Finally!!!! Made contacts in Alabama, Texas and Georgia on the drive home from work. Was getting nervous that my radio was broken!!!
Average solar flux and sunspot numbers were way down this past week. Geomagnetic indicators were lower, too.
With the DX being down I went surfing around on the radio again and found the braggart Mark on 19 AM again doing his thing but he sure wasn't as loud as he use to be ! LOL
Well finally made the 5.5 hr trip to Motel 6 in Clarion PA. 20 minutes away from Bob's CB Shop in Strattansville PA. Hopefully tomorrow he will sraighten out my Lincoln II+ Was a wonderful trip thru Heartland Pennsylvania and the Appelacian ( spelling ) Mountains so didn't hear much radio. Boy I thought my valleys were bad these made mine look like Kids Stuff ! As the journey got to the end and the land opened up I did hear some DX but couldn't connect. Tomorrow is another day hopefully with a fixed radio and a long trip home. ( And a different direction )
Worked Georgia and Panama City Florida on the drive to work. Yay!!
It seems that conditions might be better today..
Well final report on radio did not turn out good. Bob found a bad crystal in the system and didn't have one to replace it but gave me the location of it so I guess I will have to get involved with President Radio Tomorrow. The saga continues. I have enough tied up in that radio I could have bought a real radio from Bob's CB Shop. I get thru this and it is goodbye to President radio forever !
Well, can you gents kindly give a report on what the band has been like lately. I'm hoping to be back in business within the next week or two and can't wait. In the midst of getting other things squared away, I should have a temporary pole mast up this week with everything else slowly coming together behind it.
I'm ready for a DX fix!
