That's equal to 4 straight months of DX; with 3 watts of power and an indoor antenna! I'll be "crowing" about it in the next post!<br /><br />I've worked the French Special Event Station twice now. He's a good catch. They make great wine too!

I'm constantly surprised by what I hear on the bands. I've always liked that famous quote on the "Forest Gump" movie. "Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gon'a get". It's certainty true in this hobby. <br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes on the back. I "hate" that wheelchair and will do everything I can to avoid it. I'm feeling encouraged more every day now.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-68071293251728287032013-05-21T02:57:11.686-07:002013-05-21T02:57:11.686-07:00Good morning John, good to hear that you are feeli...Good morning John, good to hear that you are feeling a bit better and are able to somewhat get up and around. I hope the test today turns up more detail as to give the doctors direction. As for the band conditions they are kinda in the dumps. I too was able to make contact with TM75FOC as well. <br />MikeVE9KK https://www.blogger.com/profile/04720839744779758420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-22372530909212849412013-05-20T23:06:56.875-07:002013-05-20T23:06:56.875-07:00Hi John, I don't look at the propagation figur...Hi John, I don't look at the propagation figures at all anymore. If I have time for playing radio I take it just like it is. Somewhere I heard that the published SSN/A-index etc. is always a day too early, kind of forecast. But just like the weather, it's difficult to exactly know how propagation behaves. Wish you strength with your back, good to hear there is a tiny improvement. 73, BasPE4BAS, Bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12958141238330445285noreply@blogger.com
