DX picking up!

[DXman]

Yesterday - I worked a station in Brazil for about 2 min..
Then one station in Paraguay for about 2 min..

Then a few stations from the east coast, etc. - Florida, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Texas.

Did hear one station from Panama, but he was busy working a station in Europe.

I see where a few guys from various states are now making it into Europe during the afternoons. Mostly Spain, France Italy for now.

Still just mostly Australia/Hawaii/New Zealand here from the Pacific - so it's pretty quite yet out there.

Week by week, it's getting better.

Good to hear Larry. You're the one who's riding the front of the wave. Hopefully its a big one so that this little fish can catch something on the back end.

Well Robin looks like we almost had a conversation today......maybe tomorrow.

Talked with Brad 01, up north of you in the Peace River area again today, he was pretty much a solid 7 the whole time.

Then just after that I talked to 78K (Randy) in Dawson Creek, B.C. for couple minutes. Randy is a Ham and it was his 1st time on 11 meters for many months.

73's
