Nothing in my log yesterday above 21.4 MHz. Got my POTA in and
headed home from Dodgeville by 0Z. All I heard was a beacon and
ever decreasing signal strengths on the 313 propagation monitor
(where most ops presumably were getting anything in).
DXview had 50 MHz SSB level extending NYC/SC/MO, so there's a chance, but I could use doing more around the house before departing for CSVHF on Thursday.

Uffda...dead bands. At least I got 2 q's in the books from EN34. I heard some faint signals on 6m In the early afternoon, but it was uncopiable.. There were also maybe a few faint signals on 6 and 2 late afternoon around 5ish, but so far in the weeds to only hear a mumble.
Late night nothing either. I kept hoping a little aurora might come up...nope. I did flip the HF on ..nice sounding rig Jon W0ZQ, 20 Was booming late night into Europe. Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Germany, and the Canary Islands. I had a short for 20m tuned in cb whip on the truck instead of the Valor multiband, so I wasn't able to bust the pile ups, but the signals were 20 over 9.
Hopefully I'll get out a bit tomorrow in the mid morning til maybe the end if the contest. Hopefully the bands open tomorrow. I'll be running EN44, possibly EN45 on SSB/ (rusty)CW. I'll be hanging/calling out about 50.125/144.200 and up if busy...dipping down below 50.126 voice to Hopefully hit the DX window (forgot it was there. Lol)Now and again I'll drop further into the weak CW portion and call out I'll say near the .025 freq on both bands
50 mHz: 100w into a squalo and if conditions allow, I can unfold the 4 element when parked.
144 mHz: 150w into a homebrew 12 element
I modulate, therefore I am! ...73, and all that jazz, Dave...N9TTX Always remember: "It could be worse.....it could be raining." Marty Feldman from "Young Frankenstein"
