ohh,, We showed up at the party but Mother Nature didn't open the door!
Hello All: Listened in on the mobile and the base, from the So Cal Mojave Desert, 5 Element Crusader Yagi Beam at 55 Ft, I could hear Florida in the background, and I could hear other voices/signals but hard to understand as every signal was right there in the noise. Turned the beam from pointing east to south, south west for the Pacific Islands, then north nothing heard.
But the odd thing is I could hear voices/signals in the background, Spanish maybe Portuguese, and some English, but again all the signals in the noise hard to make out. It appeared that noise could be heard that possibility skipped in from other locations and such. I will listen in again today.

Actually conditions were very good...If you were working the Second biggest SSB contest of the year ARRL SSB WPX contest...
Asia and S. Pacific stations were very strong here (IND) and Europe was almost non stop during the day on 20m followed by 40m in the evenings...Even good openings reported on 75m during the night hours...
Sorry I did not get to make any contacts with WDX stations even though Wavrider/KJ4IIF and I worked Sunday morning on 75m...Also had a nice chat with Firerunner/KK6USY (I think Thursday Morning) from IND to CALIF....along with catching Jim BR549/KM4IAF briefly that same evening...
Holiday and Family weekend just did not leave enough opportunity to add to the DXCC contacts and leave space for WDX activity also... :-(
All the Best
