I understand the rules and wish to enter the contest.

I get better luck with USB on upper channels. Earlier today I got a really good S9+10 contact with someone from South Dakota on 27530 USB.

I just managed to grab a contact from division 22, French Guyana. From where I am, most of the time Europe shuts down while South America opens up towards the evening.

I gabbed a bit with Craig in Daytona. He comes in loud and proud up here when the afternoon ends.

I don't know if you guys heard this Italian fellow on freeband. He comes on with this unusual seductive sexy voice. I don't remember his callsign but he ends his calls to QSY with "go go go go". I had him on speakers the other day and my wife was wondering what the hell kind of frequencies I was...

Squeezed in a few contacts today. I logged my first division 347, in Curaçao. I got Craig in Daytona. He was coming in loud and clear. I also got my usual fix of division 14 and 26 as well. All in all, a good day considering I don't have much time to spare. Going to grab some grub and chat...

Busy with work, so only time to work local SSB contacts once skip calms down later in the evening. I am blessed with regional activity, and I have the distinct impression that there is a new generation of 11 meter enthusiasts on the airwaves around here in Quebec. Us older folks have our...

What'd you end up buying?

Slim pickins at this time of the day. I'll be heading out west and mobile tomorrow. Dirty side down and clean side up.

I'm around. Ain't much FM on my waterfall right now. I'll be scanning USB freeband on and around 555 for now.

Didn't have much time lately with work and all. I managed to log at least one contact from France. I got some other low signal in Saskatchewan but I couldn't catch his callsign. Then I ran out of time. On the other hand, I bit the bullet and finally unlocked the IC-7300 a short while ago. Me...

Last Sunday I brought the quad-6 into the car and rode off to western Quebec for an event. I took the Oka-Hudson ferry and had a contact from France in the middle of the Ottawa river. That was a first. Arriving on the other side I stopped for a coffee in this town called Rigaud and I snagged a...

I hear you. I'm lucky to work from home 3 days a week, so making a few contacts while sitting in front of the computer with the radio on the side is pretty easy. But on the other two, at the end of the day I ain't in much shape to be grabbing the microphone either. Band has been dead as...

I was aware of that channel, but I never got anything off of it for the few times I scanned it on FM. Maybe I should give it another shot! Otherwise, it looks like it's going to be another quiet day.

Sad to say, but conditions ain't right at the moment for 11 meters, from the great lakes towards the eastern seaboard. On the other hand, I'm getting some good local contacts. The 'ole gang comes out at night. Mostly...
