Well had to try out my DX-979 early this morning to make sure it was still cooking and DX started early. So when it was receiving on 38 LSB I had to kick on my KL-503 because I couldn't resist when I heard Green Bay Wisconsin calling out. Well I called out and got answered so I gave the DX-979 a clean bill of health. I have 2 of the 979s and both have reaped me contacts so thinking I should have exploited both of those radios before moving on. Boy the curious mind makes me do dumb things. LOL PS DX was really Getting Down around here today as I listened in my travels, but had too much on the TO DO list before the next rain !

Well I woke up just before 6 AM and turned on my Cobra 2000 & low and behold I found activity on 38 LSB. Maybe there is still some hope for the return of the DX Monster !

I see you guys are smoldering down there and we're supposed to this week too. 108 today..... It can't be good on a radio cooking in a vehicle.

Wow that’s HOT ! My spot in central NC at the moment is 83. Forecasted low tonight is 61.

Starting to heat up in SoCal (LA area) but nothing like Texas!

I've been on the road, checking in with a few clients up in the lower panhandle. My last client today was 60 miles SSE of you.
Yes, it's definitely heating back up again. Ugh...

How far are you from the ocean? I hear the breeze off the pacific is nice and tends to keep it from getting too terribly hot. ?

I heard a few guys crying about the 111111111111111111111 guy a few days ago in California and Washington, was kind of funny, he had them all worked up.

We’re about 25 miles or so from the Pacific. Yes is does cool most times 20+ deg when the marine layer comes in. BUT..,,if we have a big dome of high pressure (110d) it’s warm at night too. Humidity is not usually not a factor..thank goodness!!!

That's right down the street. Holler when you're in the neighborhood, I may just be closer to you depending on where I run to. I was running down to Lubbock today, probably right next to you without knowing it.

I haven't heard that guy around here lately.

 

[S&W357]

I used to hear him here in NC. Not recently though.

Skip has changed in the summer month for me anyway. Now I hear South East mainly and in the winter it was Texas mainly which I haven't heard much from lately. How has it been for the rest of you, have you noticed a change ?
