I haven't been keeping track of space weather lately so not sure how conditions will shape up for today.
But.... I'll be monitoring throughout the day on channels 35-40 and in between channels.

Lots of European stations in the radio this morning. I will be standing by on 37 as I do some things around the house and garage.
Been hearing a lot of activity on the radio but been in full swing of summer tear down and winter prep. But I did take the time to open the KL-203 P and spray the switches with contact cleaner because I gotta get it ready for my 2 Hr. road trip this week so it is a reinstall tomorrow. And the trees keep getting bare !

Conditions were really good this evening, so good that it was a giant pileup from 35 to 40 and even in between channels. I'd call cq and so many answered that i couldn't single anyone out.....didn't stay on long because it was too much but still sank in a few contacts before shutting down.
I finally got my KL-203 P hooked up and traffic was heavy but didn't make contacts and figured it might of been from too much traffic. We will try again tomorrow when I do my 2 hr. road trip.
I hooked my station up, but when I keyed up, my amp's relay chattered. I thought the ssb delay cap had failed. Opened up the amp and it checked good. Looked over the delay circuit, and found a bad solder joint from the common pole on the am/ssb switch to the main board. The amp sometimes gets hot as hell when I get to ratchet-jawing. I think this weakened the joint since the amp has been running perfect for many months. Resoldered and working 100% again.

I did hit Nebraska today for the first time ever on my way home from the road trip. But all the channels were buzzing so I knew I had competition. But at least I know my McKinley and KL-203 P are working together and I was in a hurry to get home.
