My DX seems to be slacking lately ! Soon the leaves will be coming back on the trees and probably be changing the way signals get reflected.
I have a 40 channel walkie talkie.Awesome! What radio are you going to put on it?
Will that do?The DX was lousy today. made a couple contacts this afternoon, but that was luck.

Propagation for 12-10 meters is categorized as "FAIR". I'll give it a few tries tomorrow and see what happens.
917, that was the best I've received you. Sounded nice and crisp.
After our qso, the bottom dropped right out of it.

Yes sir! I talked to you yesterday but today was a lot better. Those pesky up and down conditions. That Q5 of yours was sounding great!
All I have is got today is 404. Not the best propagation, but good audio made the QSO happen.
I'm in Miami today running the TRC 490 with the Super Sidekick. The noise floor today is only around 2 "S" units, but bleed-over from AM 15 is an occasional nuisance. A Mexican dispatcher was also clogging things up for about 15 minutes, but has fortunately faded away.
At 3:15P.M. eastern, I made contact with 134 when I was on my IMAX 2000. A few minutes later, I switched to the Starduster and made a slightly better connection. Propagation is fading in and out, so I can't say if the difference is attributable to conditions or the classic center-fed dipole vs. the 5/8th wave head to head debate.
I did hear WDX 566 calling out for 451. My efforts to get back to both stations were not met with success.
I'll keep trying.

Well, the bottom pretty much dropped out of the DX propagation. 16 was dead both on AM and LSB. I was able to make a contact with 31 mobile in Iowa on LSB 38 around 6:04P.M. Stations from Nebraska and Iowa along with Nova Scotia were coming in on LSB 38, but that was it. Then that went flat, too.
Definitely a challenging day for DX propagation.

We were both barely above the noise floor so we kept the contact fairly short and I didn't get a chance to ask him but we completed the QSO which was cool.

Fired up the Ranger around noon, tried several times to make some contacts,but no dice today,the noise floor on my end was around 3,heard some very faint ops in the background, maybe next weekend try again......... hope all of my Radio Friends have a great week ahead and a upcoming Happy Easter with there Family's!!
