Mother Nature has a weird say to keep me in check out here in Kansas lol. But there was a short window early this year were I got into Australia at least. Though, I should probably look around .555 for better DX.Fantastic conditions today! Worked Ireland on FM this morning with 120 watts, followed by a dozen or more stations all over the US plus Jamaica. Now there's lots of exotic stuff coming in from the Pacific ring..... Indonesia, Japan, Phillipines, Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Taiwan etc. all heard in the last hour or so on 555 and thereabouts.
Best conditions in a couple months, and first time working Europe since early November.
