the little town i went to school was hit hard 3 weeks ago.it was open prarie so settlers planted oak trees. almost every house in town had at least 1 huge oak 3to 5 feet across.id say 5 to 10 percent are damage free,prolly 20 percent can be trimmed up n saved/ the rest are laid over.
Well I had a nice surprise this morning. I was up and ready for work, I had my tablet on and catching up on the news. I turned the radio on and heard nothing but the hisss of nothingness. About 10 seconds later I hear someone calling for 226.
Ha!
It was @codeman. He was hauling a load that took him through San Angelo. We had a nice qso while he was in range. He was sounding choice on that Stryker! What a nice surprise, brother! Thanks, and be safe out there!

It was nice talking with you this morning. For some reason the antenna on my semi does not perform as well as I did on my last truck even though they are the same model. Just running a 4 foot Firestik. Maybe it's time for an upgrade.Well I had a nice surprise this morning. I was up and ready for work, I had my tablet on and catching up on the news.

Heck yeah, talking to another wwdx member is gold!
Nice rig!
Yeah, that HC route takes you out and around the city quite a bit. I think if we would have gave it five or ten more minutes, you may have gotten back in range before heading out on 87 to Midland.
It was definitely a great surprise! Thank for given me a shout!

Europe has been in my radio all day here in Western NC on 11 meter LSB.
Mine too. I talked to stations in England, France, Holland, East Germany, and Ireland. All on CH 39LSB. Strongest was 666 out of Berlin. We talked for a good 20 minutes without interruption.

Past few days were pretty good! Made some east coast contacts. Even Columbia was making it into SoCal!!!
Haven't had much time for radio because been running to hospital and nursing home due to elderly family member problems. Even had to dismount my Tram 3500 from my car to park in the parking garage at the hospital so can't even listen. This too Shall Pass ! LOL
One heck of a night with plenty qso's to the northeast corner. Wow! A direct dx highway that way and still going strong.
Europe is rolling in fairly well right now on LSB 38. I just had a 10 minute qso with number 2 in Italy. We moved down to 37 to finish up, then conditions started changing.
I'm also currently hearing Australia and New Zealand.
Edit: 444 Sydney Australia
Conditions have been in and out. I just happened to be on at the right time. It's fading now....

Thursday was active, heard Ontario, New York Staten Island, Boston, Indiana, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, New Jersey, and Hawaii on 37 & 38 LSB coming into the desert southwest when mobile on interstate 40. No real contacts with only 10W into a NMO-27 whip. Can't bust through that pile-up with the Uniden 980SSB. Couple of half-contacts with Indiana and Boston.
