From the lack of posts here -- one might conclude that with summer here and
declining SS Cycle -- there is no DX to be had.

Well according to Ohio/Penn DX Bulletin: there were 214 countries active.

And on 6M, folks on the east coast are working Europe, West Coast has worked
Japan and Alaska, and both have worked the Caribbean in the last 4 or 5
weeks.

THE OLD DXER

The sunspots were roaring and the Old Dxer was working DX night and day.

The faithful XYL had had it with his QRZing and blew her stack.


"DX DX DX - that's all you ever think about!" she groaned


"Why I'll bet you don't even remember our wedding date!!"

"I mostly certainly do" was the immediate reply."


"It was June 14th, 1958 - That's the night I worked the XT1, the CRØ, and
the AC4!!"


GD DX et. al.

Most of the posts here haven't had much to do with DX, lately. :-)
We've been arguing about internet "radio" and BPL.

If it was ME, I promise I'll send him a QSL real soon. ;-)

I (tried) to work the contest last weekend... only got *7* contacts, only
three of them DX. I was mostly on 20 meters, using my friend's Yaesu HF rig
and a Cubex Quad antenna w/rotator mounted up high on the roof. Putting out
only 100 watts, but still people had a very hard time hearing me. Things
were no better with the Gap vertical.

And on 6M, folks on the east coast are working Europe, West Coast has
worked
Japan and Alaska, and both have worked the Caribbean in the last 4 or 5
weeks.

That's the hot band right now... wish I had access to it, but the friend
whose shack I have access to doesn't have an HF + 6 meter rig right now.

Gud DX (but probably not 'til after summer's out),
