Finally....
Conditions were good this evening, up until 8:45. Had contact with Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, and Florida. Also heard Australia coming in before I shut it down. I hope this is a sign of things to come.

Well I finally had a buddy come up to help me test my repaired Lincoln II+ and with DX opening up a little I can see I have a useable radio now. They could have done better in the alignment of the radio but at least if I set the clairifier at 2 O clock I can understand people and be understood. Life goes on ! LOL
Not on topic or on the air but slowly getting the experiment/repair bench corner of the garage set back up. Much still in boxes, totes and storage. Slowly it's coming back together.
Like the bike 828 but I hope you wear a helmet

.No future shop mi amigo, personally use only. I like to tinker while I'm babbling, multitask so to learn something. I'm piecing it together as I go and when time permits so next is trying to put up the home brew radio cabinet into the allotted space. I've got the dx shakes pretty bad so it needs to go up.
So much rain here lately (daily and unusual) is hindering the mast process, concrete etc so figured I'd work on the indoor side of things.
I shoulda said future shack/shop. I figured it was just for you. Either way, enjoy!
P.S. a ticket will help "fix" those shakes. Least it has mine.

Got DX rolling on the east coast. Kentucky to Canada. Working it for all it's worth.

Worked several stations all over the north east and Midwest and Texas as well this morning.
Here in North Central US, I occasionally pick up weak bits and pieces. But it's hard to hold on to any signal for long enough to make a contact. I'm suffering withdrawals!!!
Conditions seem to be peaking at this time. While adding a few extra crystals on an old 23ch Royce 606 I hollered for a radio check on ch26 AM. 3 stations came back immediately, all giving me strong signal reports. No amp, just 3.5 watts with my Imax 2000 antenna. Pipe line between Western NY to NC, but other states are also well represented.
