Well; we have conditions here in CA

QSO's so far today:
101 New Mexico
455 Rob in AZ
10WR-666 Roberto in Chihuahua MX
Eagle 1 in AZ
WR-286 mobile is booming from So Cal
0575 Hawaii
161 Mesa AZ
555 San Diego CA

Seems like conditions are a carryover from last night.
C'mon sun spots!

E SKIP.....though hawaii may have some ducting added for good measure. E SKIP....ABSOLUTELY no correlation whatsoever to sunspots. didn't they teach you any of that when you READ THE TRAINING MANUAL....or'd you just memorize the answers?

in your defense though, i can't even begin to count how many EXTRAS, that brag about being hams for 50 years, that i talk to each spring on 10m, PRAISE THE SUNSPOTS when they are a mere 500-1000 miles from me talking via E SKIP.

though i do agree....C'mon sun spots!!!!! got my 6, 10, 11 & 12m friends around the world waiting to be spoken to rather then emailed!
