Yeah. Just turned on the radio and worked 66 Colorado on CH38. Hearing some accents here and there. Making a big pot of soup, so I'll be in and out.
Hearing a big station from Montana also. I had to come back, just worked a 037 England station on 27.375 and heard others. I've been very lucky lately on contacts.
Back in @ 14:46 and worked #66 Western North Dakota on 27.375. Station coming in from Ireland now. Waiting for my turn. 14:51 and just worked the Ireland #52 (Irish rover) on 27.375. Great morning so far. Back in at 15:31, worked another Ireland station and had a nice QSO with a Wisconsin station on 27.580. It's getting harder and harder to find a place to QSY to above 27.555 right now. Back in @ 16:03 and worked France 14RC on 27.710.

Just taking a break from mowing the yard. it was pretty hot this morning on 10/11. Almost too good in a way. Lot's of stations. I have CH38 on in the background and it still seems quite busy. Back in @ 19:48 just worked 1629 New Mexico on 27.385. Working a lot of states that I normally am not able to.
Wyoming on 27.375 @ 19:54

Back in @ 20:11. Just worked 347KP125 -QTH - Curaçao Island. Based on the KP, I thought it was Puerto Rico at first. I was expecting a quick exchange, but the op wanted to rag chew a bit, which was very nice. I normally do quick exchanges, but I'm glad we got to chat. He was running a Xiegu G90 at 20 watts into an Antron99. Very good sounding rig with a solid 5/7 copy. That Xiegu was FB. Might have to pick one up one day.
