Hi Gary, The conditions just do NOT seem to be there---at least not that I can detect... Only DX stations heard & worked here were "VP2M" & PJ5". Nothing from overseas at all. And the furthest west that I could get was Colorado! Not a single California, Oregon, or Washington State station to be had anywhere. I wonder if the west coast has conversely noticed a shortage of 1's, 2's, & 3's...? Still, I've made 283 QSOs so far, basically just holding down a frequency, & doing a wee bit of S & P'ing. We'll see what to-night brings... Good luck, & my vy ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw? BK
