I was hearing some action on some of the other high 30s lsb also on my DX 979 so I give a shout for a buddy in Texas but was running barefoot so didn't hope for much success.

11 meter is very quiet?

- Start date
It has been amazingly quiet down here, but then these waves of west coast (mostly California) and Australia skip start making their way through. The other 23 hours of the day are dead quiet with conditions prime for local traffic - like talking 40 miles house to boat on SSB with both stations barefoot and legal.
no radioing this weekend. daughter and son in law here sunday and today got a date with a deere. full afternoon of hayfield. least it has very cold ac

Ahh the smell of fresh cut hay, I remember those days.
Right out of high school I worked for Producers, feeding green cut Hay, cutting corn for Silage, cutting, raking and baleing alfalfa.
I bucked my share of hay bales back in the day.

See I opened my big fat stupid mouth too soon, No DX this morning ! LOL
That brings home the old days when we put it in the barn loose or bales that I thought weighed more than me. Cow manure was the fragrance drifting threw the neighborhood. Told myself back then I wouldn't be a farmer, only because of the Manure. My step granddad did everything the old hard way. BY HAND !
I think they weighted more than me too, and Willie, the old guy that ran the boom truck could make or break your day depending on the mood he was in.
And there is nothing like the smell of Corn Silage and Molasses after it has fermented for a while.
Ah to be young again.......
We had to go in the silo & hand fork that corn silage out of the port and some times you would get a blast of that fermented gas. I didn't mind the hard work it was hand shoveling the manure out of the drop and onto a stone bolt to be drug out and hand spread on the fields. He even had a team of horses he did a lot of work with. But I will say I have the only IH Farmall Super A he ever bought and she purrs like a kitten. I put one heck of a lot of money in it but is part of my history and I'd probably Cry to see it go down the road.
Had a nice QSO with 29 in Puerto Rico 3:40pm on LSB38.
Conditions in my part of the world were great for a few hours after lunch. I made a lot of contacts and had several good qso's. Just before it slowed, I heard @unit_399 call my numbers. You were sounding Top Shelf as usual. Thank you for the qso, my friend. We seem to make that connection fairly regular lately.

Late morning and early afternoon it was like I had a direct pipeline into Texas. 7 good QSOs some old friends in the LoneStar. Brother Dxer 226's Ranger was booming into Colombia. Always good to talk to you my friend. Maybe again tomorrow. 73s

Updated my USA contact map. All the different stations I've had QSOs with since I got back on the air in July '23. I had no idea I talked to so many people. Lotsa fun and good times.
