There is good and bad if you are at work. Bad, you can't try but good, the last time I checked there conditions were interesting at best.

If the weather lets up here, and conditions are decent, I'll get on today. Waiting to see what the weather is going to do and also have some stuff to do this morning. Maybe I'll catch someone later if the weather is okay later today! Good luck to all and have some fun!! That is what's its all about anyway!!

I just went out back with my Cherokee AH100 SSB walkie talkie to hear what was out there. Not a soul coming in LSB39. Some local stations were talking with guys in Durango, Mexico on AM40, but the Mexicans were fading in and out.
