Here is a link I was sent to vhf DX I was sent from another forum that I thought some in here might like who understand this stuff more than I do. You can pick it apart and see if it is useful.

Just read this article and thought it might interest some in here.

NASA says solar activity is increasing: "The sun is slowly waking up"

The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space weather, NASA said.

Skip was booming yesterday in the PNW!

It's definitely intermittent here in Florida.

 

[FlyBoy50]

It is definitely spotty for sure. Thank god the good weather is holding out so we have enough to keep us occupied while we're holding out !

For the most part conditions up here have been pretty good. There's the odd day with less DX than normal but mostly it's been great.

South, Northeast and Southeast US booming in almost every day with tons of Texas, Florida, Gulf Coast, Carolinas, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, New England etc. etc. on 37/38 LSB

South America, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, Polynesia, Indonesia etc making it in on 27.555USB fairly often especially in the evening hours.

Where are all you WWDX folks? I talk to the states where some of you live almost daily but other than JJ down in Medellin I haven't heard another WWDXer in a coons age.

You must be one of the fortunately few. PS You better not let your wife hear that, she'll put you busy ! LOL

I've been checking the last several evenings here and conditions just aren't there. A couple of weeks back there were a few days that gave some mediocre but workable conditions but lately it's just nothing to work.

I 2nd what BC Coyote says. Dx has been booming into Colombia all afternoon. New York, Vermont, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennylvania, Carolinas, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Montana, Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Wash State, Oregon and all over California. But Texas. . . dead.

I also 2nd that I never hear any WWDX folks ?? Where are you guys ?? I heard several stations out of Penn, Delaware and NoCal, but no forum members.

Are you sure that your antenna is plugged in ?? My receive was full of Florida stations all afternoon.

I heard you booming into Texas around 2:30 today. I even heard you calling for me, but I could never get over the pile. There was also a pipeline between me and NY. I bet I talked to 12 stations up there between 2 & 3pm.

I was sure trying to make it to the Met JJ.

Just got back from the shop. Talked to Rhode Island, then Maryland and then four Texas stations in a row on 37LSB, then had a 30 minute chat about antennas with 717 Pensacola on 36. S9 & better signal the whole time!

An hour ago the entire US East coast was in here all the way from Maine to Florida plus most of the Gulf Coast as well........ It's starting to calm down a bit now with less US stations and some Aussies coming through.

 

[Jolly Green]

Band is wide open. I'm east of Montreal and plenty of stations are blowing smoke on my station. Logged a few easy contacts.

I got home and as the above posts stated, there is some good propagation. I made a few contacts then the storms moved in.... go figure! I unplugged and shut down for the time being.
