I have to laugh the solar site said 10-12 meter was suppose to be poor today but it is almost 9:00 PM & I can hear my Lincoln II+ upstairs barking out some good sounding DX which is unusual for this time of night. I guess I'll just keep Rolling with the Flow !

Its a good worldwide guide but its not perfect as I have learned over time. Trans-Equatorial Propagation can be really good even when the solar info says otherwise. Many times 15 meter does this as well, even better then 10 meter.

was camping on 555 and heard Maine @ 5pm(est). went to 36lsb and made a whole bunch of contacts to the northeast in a half hour before they disappeared. got 1st contact to Suriname and Hawaii earlier today. all conditions, well under triple digits. take time, patience, and the right conditions running small power. haven't had a day like that for a year

I'm surprised you gave that 980 a chance. I figured you for a different radio. Mine still works OK but I was never thrilled with visibility in the mobile enviroment.
