The numbers were bad for low band DX this morning, SFI 234, A22, K2 but JQ2SIX was coming through about S7. This was the best that I have heard him in more than 2 weeks. Unfortunately my noise was peaking 10/9. Lightning strikes within the first skip zone were about 2 per second...UGH!
I have been talking with my friend Randy, N9LTA in WI most weekday mornings on 14.152 + QRM from about 1230 until 1330 UTC. With 313 worked and 291 confirmed overall my DXCC hunt has almost stopped. I am looking forward to getting 15 more confirmed on 160m this fall and winter to complete 100 on 9 HF bands (no 60m in HP).
The dogs and I are still happy in Western Panama. 73.
