I made 2 contacts today with my Lincoln II+. The first was on ch 23 FM and the operator 485 was clear as a bell just outside of San Antonio Texas and only running 51 watts. We exchanged Flowers on radios. The second one was from Colorado clear but with less volume. Looks like the Lincoln II+ teamed up with the West Mountain Radio processor might be a good match. Of coarse that was from my Radio room and Starduster so maybe it will be a good fall. ( Hopefully ) LOL
Skip has been Boomin' all day here in the PNW!
Today conditions aren't too great here but still workable. It's bean time then I'll try a little dx.
Was out and about in my car with the 980SSB on 27385 LSB earlier today and this guy from Amsterdam Netherlands was the strongest signal coming through. Didn't have much time for QSOs today, though.
Otherwise there seems to be a bit less propagation around here, but conditions on paper still look good. SFI high, A/K low. I think MUF is lowering faster in the evenings lately and I'm calling CQDX to aliens (and the bastards don't respond).

Europe still making it to the west coast today, but not as strong as the previous few days. I had to work all day anyways, so just had the radio in the background a bit.
I did have Japan coming through really strong on 555 this evening and afterward I dropped down to channel 4, the Japanese superbowl and it was roaring away down there from across the Pacific. Just like 6, but in Japanese!
channel 4 = Japanese superbowl
channel 5 = Mexican superbowl
channel 6 = US superbowl (see also channels 11 & 28)
channel 9 = Puerto Rico superbowl
At this rate, the whole band will soon be nothing but a giant superbowl from one end to the other LOL!

I've heard Scotland and Ireland a lot coming in but just can't break on thru to the other side for some reason.
Had the Ranger on this afternoon around 1pm and was able to make contact with #553 ( Codeman) out of Austin,Texas who happens to be a WWDX forum member,so that was a nice contact, haven't been on the air lately due to work, etc....... hope everyone is doing well!!

last nite funny guys on 21 but no contac. they had a decent but funny convo for about 20 minutes. then it was 9 pm n i went to a 2 meter net where only 2 or 3 of us are on it. we had a funny chat there though. up at a large lake there is a small island. perfect place for antenna. but 1 itty bitty problem,its a snakes den so to say
It was good to talk with you again. I was in traffic with lots of construction, otherwise I would have asked to QSY to another frequency. But I had to keep my eyes on the road. That ranger with the Delta Mike sounds awesome!
The previous day I made a great contact with 4000 out of Germany. I was around Lake of the Ozarks, Mo and had him at S9 on 27.3500.
Hope to hear you again.
Good conditions today in my part of the world. I've pulled in a few good contacts so I will be on as time permits.
27.385 is a clown show so I'll stay off of that one.
Meanwhile 27.385

Just checked in with 605 Texas and the Hog Town Radio Roundup on 36. Haven't heard him since the beginning of summer. Conditions are improving, I heard Germany and Ireland checking in too.

Made contact this morning with a place I've never made it to before. Had a nice QSO with Roy, 104CI101, on the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea!
I recently re-orientated my delta loop to better favor Europe and Asia / South Pacific and it seems to be paying off.
27.580USB @ 150 watts.
