The ride home today was quite the pileup but was not consistent. I did make a few stateside contacts so I'll call it a success. I still think back to a couple of years ago and helps me to be glad for the glass half full rather than half empty.

CB is still active around here. Quite a few old timers on the air. We have a weekly SSB net on 27.605 that started in early 70's. There's also a weekly swap meet on the same frequency each Sunday night. I live in Athens County Ohio, which is in Appalachia. Plenty of redneck CB'ers in pickup trucks running the hills. A few dudes are cornballs, but there's usually no trouble finding someone to talk to.
We call that guy the "drunk preacher" and he's on every evening for hours and hours ranting away in a thick Aussie accent.
38 is useless for me here......all day long its the 1111111 guy and when that finally starts to fade out the drunk preacher comes in 'till 10pm or later. After that skips done for the day and it's a dead channel until 8am or so the next day when 11111 guy fades back in !
Wow. I grew up in Athens County. Haven't lived there in 32 years though. Hard for me to catch any skip from the buckeye. Only two contacts in the last four years. One was near Guysville, and the other near Coolville. That part of Ohio is similar to N/W Arkansas. Ain't really mountains, but there's some big damned hills.
Close to NW AR from here. You get down 49 toward the tunnel South of Fayetteville and ya get some nice views.
Back to your regular scheduled programming....
Conditions suck in the good o'l Texas Panhandle today, mostly noise with some faint voices.

Conditions aren't totally dead here, but they are definately on life support ! Still hearing some U.S. and Canadian stations, and I did have QSO's with Ontario and some stations in the upper midwest states today.
For some reason, the clowns on sideband on 36, 38 and 42 all come in great even when conditions are bad. Go figure !

There's some England stations and whatnot from across the pond coming into MO right now.
Hard rain off and on all day here. Finally caught a break a about 4pm ET so connected up the antenna. Hooked up with 605 BRAD in the Lonestar. Nice 20 minute QSO. Then Denver, St.George Utah, Honolulu. San Jose Calif, & Tucumcari, New Mexico. Conditions were up and down, but no trouble holding a good qso. called CQ-WDX many times but no takers. Thunder and lightning made me disconnect the antenna around 6:30 pm.
