Hey, I'm talking 60 miles barefoot ground-wave on Jay's antenna
tonight. That's stuff is fun.

Got some good groundwave going on! Some Tuesday nights I can hear
PA and VA. I've even talked into DE from the mobile. 2x455's talk!

Other nights, I've got buzzing and static. I've noticed that I
hear a certain atmospheric noise before the skip starts. I'm
assuming that 10 meter propagation will be very similar to what
I've experienced on 11 meters. If so, I'll be killer in 10 meter
contests. Hell, I've got 27 years to go on.

It's neat that some nights 11 meters carries real well, other nights
2 meters goes real far and I've even had both bands hot one night.
I was a DXing fool! Try to say 104 on one radio and KB3xxx on the other!

Yea the band is really up and down lately here too and I find ground wave
more fun than dx, so this is more fun for me than when the band is wide
open...you know what I'm talkin' bout Willis. I like the silent hiss and
trying to dig a station out of the silence, it's more a test of your gear
than bouncing.
