Post by: RobRich on August 24, 2023, 1721 UTC
Noted 11m DX from Europe on 27585u, and West Coast USA among the usual CB SSB frequencies.

Airspy HF+D and 31' vertical as usual.

Nice to see 10/11M open again. Worked several stations in Europe recently on 10 and heard lot's of activity on 11M into the UK as well as coast to coast. Same with 12 meters.

Been picking up conditions here in B.C Canada, listening to 6 17 11 and 28 and they are coming and going starting to die down a little bit Mother Nature is holding steady.

Jesus it was really popping off today. Thank goodness it's easier to get FM handhelds in the USA now that President made the Randy II. My local channel was clear but the splatter was crazy.

Does anyone know who Uncle 29 is? He just kept saying that over and over without talking to anyone and I was catching him from channel 21 to 28.

Lunacy, I wouldn't bother with those crazy people on 11 meters...

Who the heck are you going to talk to with nothing but a handheld radio?  It's range is probably 3 or 4 miles FM if you were standing on top of a mountain on a good day.
