Pretty much a radio write-off today ! Some marginal conditions but all my callouts today have been futile, which rarely happens.......
Ah well ! Glad others are having a good radio day ! I've certainly had my share of fun these last few months......

Turned on my GE Super Base to listen this morning while I was getting ready to address spring issues and it was coming in really good but no time to play. Changing out battery in motorcycle so I can ride my 80 MPG. And starting to prep my riding mower so I get that out of the way and am ready for the season. Oh the sacrifices we must make ! LOL

At my mother in laws house I have a Sirio GPS-27 1/2 wave vertical about 30 feet to the feed point.
Received a couple of nice QSL cards today from folks I've talked to recently.
One from Chris 201DA001 in French Polynesia and the other from Miguel 31AT114 in Portugal !
Made up for the shitty conditions today......

Was on for a little bit this morning. Europe was coming in fairly well. Only got to work about 15 stations before I got out. If it is like last year we will have them for a couple more weeks before they fade away till fall again.
Sunrise is getting earlier and the band was finally open about 0600 cst during the the morning 1hr commute. Nothing really special but was able to make a few crystal clear qso's with Maine, Massachusetts and New York.
Sure hope to catch some of you on the air before conditions flatten out during the summer months.
All you fine wwdx folks have a good start to the week.

On Sunday the 3rd, around about 3:00 PM est., noise just all of a sudden got very bad in my receiver. AM side was just a loud hum, and SSB was super noisy too. Thought something had happened to coax and antenna. Nope, it was G2 solar storm causing the noise some how or another.
My radio was basically not useable up until about 8:00 PM est. because of the noise. Anyway, it's back to normal today.

No crazy noise here, but the solar storm knocked out conditions almost completely here yesterday !
Making contacts again today, but the band is in pretty sorry shape compared to the last few weeks. Only North America, Brazil, and the Caribbean making it at the moment.
I ordered 2 of these today and they aren't the speaker model but the control unit you can plug your speaker in to. Better price because they are on sale.

Today, in the Republic of Colombia, the band was rockin' and rollin'. One solid QSO after another from all over the Canada and the US. Northeast, East Coast, Deep South, Midwest, Plain States, Northwest, California, and, as always, Florida.
My meter was practically stuck on S-9. It was one of those, "If I can hear him, then they can hear me" days. Doesn't happen often enough.

That was the price. At West Mountain radio it is the same price as the speaker model which is Out of Stock at the moment. And I got free shipping but don't know what they would charge you for shipping because of where you are at. But I've been wanting and figured I better get it while the getting was good.
