Made it to the French Alps this morning and to Taiwan this afternoon with just my barefoot 5555N2 running straight into my Antron 99 !
Did it with just the 60 watts from the radio as I am temporarily without a working amp........
Proving once again that when conditions are really good you don't need much power at all to be heard worldwide.
Edit to add: I posted this elsewhere.....my recipe for happy radio....
-Mode selector is always in USB.
-I never go below 27.460 MHz
-I heavily favor frequencies that end in '0' as opposed to '5'.
-I monitor 555 from time to time but almost never make a call; I follow interesting stations to their QSY frequency and call them there.

Did find 11 meter more active and clear today which was refreshing but not much time to play.
Wow ! Turned on the radio this morning and it is totally dead ! Not a trace of a signal anywhere..........even 6 and 38 are just static. And it was such a great radio day yesterday !
Guessing the sun must have burped out something nasty.......

I've had the opposite experience this morning. I've been making contacts non stop. I finally had to take a break. International is hopping too!
Go figure ! A few days ago it was the opposite situation; great conditions here and crappy down there. I guess everybody gets their turn as Mother Nature decides !

With the Sirio 4 element pointed at Europe, I am getting several QSOs into England with several of them operating mobile. The rainy day here must be conducting the RF straight to me. Taking it while I can get it.
And I haven't made it to the garage yet........

My radio is full of Ohio!! AM freqs are clear as locals, 575 in the Razorback waving!
A wild day of dx today!! Many qso's with some great guys. Some of these I haven't made contact with in a long time. I was making it to Hawaii just before sundown. No luck with Australia though.
