Here is picture of the 630M antenna I am using at Destiny RV Resort in 
Goodyear, AZ.  I have two locations approved in AZ.   On WSPR I had 20 
unique reports up to 2700 KM.  On FST4 (W0SD/7) I have worked KM5SW and 
W0SD operated by KT0W.   I have been copied by WB0TEM on FST4.  I hear 
my AZ signal from DM33 very regularly at -19 to -26 at W0SD.  I have 
been transmitting odd around 1105. I am running about 35 watts.  So far 
the propagation for W0SD/7 is the best from 0630z tp 0730z.  I have not 
been up past 0730z yet. Conditions seem better tonight as I heard W0SD/7 
in SD just after dark here.  I can operate my 630M station in SD using 
Starlink and remote desktop to control my computer using WSJT  and K3S 
and remote hams if necessary which most of time it is not needed.  The 
main think is it permits turing the K3S on and off.

My noise here is much lower than at Quartzfest.  It is just under S-9.  
I have copied several stations here but they have not heard me.
