We have no, nada, nothing on the mid Atlantic Coast right now. Nothing at all, even down on the grass on any channel, any mode. Try again tomorrow...

Getting a wee bit of Australia coming through now, but they are literally whispers in the static. They usually come in at S9+ at this time of day........
I got on Channel 37L about 2:30 in the afternoon and heard nothing but static. Called CQ-Dx and was surprised when 7250 Lake Havasu AZ came booming back. Amazing because he wasn't even moving the needle off the peg. . We finished up and RG101 , Jack in the Shack, on the big Island Hawaii gave me a call. Same thing Loud audio, but nothing on the "S"- meter. Then 3308, Pete, Oxnard CA. The three of us QSO'd for a while and then 08, Homer, Honalulu. and 07 Ventura CA joined in. They all said my audio was loud, but nothing on the meter. We talked like locals until about 3:45 when I faded out on them. I went back to work and copying the static when I heard #39, Robert, Queensland Australia calling CQ. We hooked up with a solid 1/2 hour Qso 'til Mother Nature backed out on US. Interesting Day. Still don't know why all of us had loud audio but nothing on the "S" meter ???

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm basically a tough old buzzard and heal well but that darned old tumor came back after 7-8 years after a previous 2 step operation. I hope this is it for that rascal. The stress of waiting almost a year was the worst of it.
On a lighter note I hear some DX rolling from the radio room as I type. It's coming from my Lincoln II+ because both my Q6Pros are in my vehicles. I'm going to start back down the road of trying to improve the receive on the Lincoln again because buying more radios is on hold for a while. LOL
I managed a couple Australian contacts in the evening but that was it for yesterday. Seems like today might be a repeat........nothing doing right now!
I agree with Rwb. Quite as a church mouse in central MS today. Not even a whisper of anyone else on the band. Well there is always tomorrow. Have a great Sunday!!!

Quite as a church mouse this morning !
I heard you talking to "Mark" yesterday and I should have recorded you then but I was preoccupied. The next time I hear you coming in good I'll record 30 or 40 seconds of it and send it to you.

Have to hunt the WebSDR.org.
I get a lot of French stations, so I have been using Bordeaux Freebands to hear my station. Just click record. You will figure it out! Link below to the one I have the best luck.
