Work! I guess I work to be able to radio(not rodeo
) and fish. I had to work the last couple days.....BUT the dx was good both 9 and 10 Philpoh
I was traveling on the 9th and heard dx rolling all day...Europe south to s America....during the afternoon some Asia came in but the band shut down in 5 minutes? For me anyway!
Today the dx was the same Europe was very strong....heard some poland east europe,Ukraine and Russia about the time arrived at the office! Slowed down
at lunch time and I was inland a few miles so the dx is half or less what it is at the water front areas. Coolest contact was 101/43unit 045.... I was talking to a BC Canada mobile and heard someone say good morning garry? Check the caller and 101/43unit045 Grant came in for a few minute Qso ...low signal, audio only at time but that was cool....heard him calling later and posted it hoping others could work him. He and I had a odd couple days a few weeks ago....he was calling long path 2-3 days in a row coming into s Texas at 8-9 AM .... It was 2 or so in the morning? In Australia. We exchanged emails, the conditions changed and then I saw a cluster spot of his vacation call....101/43unit045 a couple days ago. I was great to have a 101 division call ya and be able to have a Qso....101 is a rare one here for me....I have only 2 101's in the log previous to this one. Looking forward to his pictures via email. We could have talked several times this evening as I heard his call for about 45 minutes
Work tomorrow but will be near the water and with a radio!!
Anyone hear Japan? Thailand ? Philippines? I see a couple Thailand on dx27 cluster but have not heard till today from Asia or the oceanic area?
I'll post earlier tomorrow if I start hearing new ones....the conditions look to be great next few days. Good luck everyone.

doing the same here, going to go out on my lunch break and see if i can get out. the uniden 980ssb and wilson did fine before when conditions were good, i got a deal on a RM kl300 so i installed that last night, might make it a little easier to get out from the mobile unit!
Wilson 1000....20 or so bonding straps cab Doors hood etc to the frame. Bonding section on K0BG.com website really helped! Lower the noise level dramatically with these straps...and the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico never hurts.
Band here is wide open....Europe is booming in as well as some Central America
It is 840 AM cst time here the background noise is up slightly from yesterday but nothing to stop dx. I see some Cameroon spots on dx27 cluster showing up so Africa is also getting across. I hear some guys calling to eastern european and africa right now! Good luck guys
