I'll be mobile on 15m in about 10m, calling CQ on 21.425.

I heard a big signal just now on 15 meters. I'm tuned up on 21.425 AM but it's gone. Calling CQ now, 20:45 UTC (2:42 central)

I got to work N2IDF on 15, but we had to resort to SSB... well, -he- did ;D Barefoot, he was ok on SSB, but 20w on AM while the receiver is mobile, is like trying to train a St. Bernard to use a doggie door. It could happen, but not without a -lot- of struggling! ;-)
Never heard anyone else on 15m.
Worked WN5V in Welch, LA on 75m on the way home.
BTW, JT... I took a run out to Brenham, TX, and on the way back, the night dispatcher said "be at Widgets-R-Us (fake name) at 8am to pick up a load going..." doesn't matter. It's not going to Orange and therefore looks like I'm not, either.

Yeah those pesky night dispatchers ruin everything. *grin*

Had a great QSO on 21.425 with WB8KRY in Ohio this morning.
I was tuning around the band with the K3 and heard a carrier, so I flipped over to AM and worked him with a commanding 25W carrier. ;D
I wasn't expecting AM up here! Can someone remind me why there is so little activity above 40M?
