Conditions never really were great today but was still able to get through and make a few sloppy copies. Looks like rough and tough it is until mother nature has some mercy on us.

Played with the 2950 in the car a bit on the ride home from work today here in western NY. Heard a couple weak stations on 38 LSB so I decided to throw out a CQ, and got a reply from Needle Bender in SC. Heard a couple other stations from around TN and the Carolinas as well. Mother Nature was definitely giving us some interesting conditions this afternoon.

Turned on my AT666 this morning and made a few contacts into Wisconsin and Michigan.
Yeah that Needle Bender in South Carolina dominates the air waves here in N/E PA and he likes to talk also with his good sounding radio. Like he says God Bless you and your Family. Can't remember his #s at the present time.. LOL
737 I believe. I've heard him on the air a few times (I'm not on the air all that often) but was surprised I was able to get a callback with my low power mobile station.
Yeah your right on the number but he has a 0 at the beginning. And yes you did good if you were barefoot from where your at with big radios covering up small radios !

Yeah it's rough and tough but still somewhat doable. The conditions are crazy with dx coming from everywhere.
The tre-797 with kl-203 are up to bat and managed to score a couple qso's through the rough conditions. This 797 does the job but sure takes a little more work than I'm used to these days. The rf gain and tone control are a constant tuning with all the noise.

Thank you mi amigo, I've been playing musical chairs with radios and it was this one's turn, never had used it. It's essentially a galaxy 979 wrapped up differently. I honestly didn't have a lot of faith in it but it did make some contacts. It's completely stock so the clarifier has to be at about 10/11 o'clock but it stayed there all evening, didn't have to touch it so I'll call that stable. You have to put more work into working dx but it's a fun little radio paired with the 203.
Had a decent night of DX for a change. I started getting some stations coming in clear around 7 pm and within the hour, had a few qso's and three more quick contacts. It was a nice surprise, after the drought we've been having. 
Yessir, same here and still working. Best dx session in quite a long while!Had a decent night of DX for a change.

I had a few things to take care of but I was back on the radio by 9 and oh boy, you're right. Conditions were still there! Made some more qso's with some nice guys, and some I haven't talked to in a long while. Yes Sir, a good night for sure.
I laugh about you saying Musical Chairs with radios because that is my sickness also. And you mentioned the 979 radio which I have been playing with mine lately and I'm starting to think it is the closest radio I have on receive to my Cobra 2000 which I thought was my best receiver. Back to the play ground ! LOL
Absolutely dead, nothing at all, nada! The super bowl is another matter
