Nice list Paul.
Great times and low QRM rate when most of us are asleep.

We got a life

Ur, uh, yeah, I guess I was asleep. ;D

I thought band conditions last night were really strange. Around 6 i worked a guy who was only about 50 miles away and only running 25 watts and was his first time on AM. Then maybe an hour later was hearing KD0HG like he was next door to me. Guess thats 75 for you at this time of year.

I'm going to have to make an effort with the MK-214 rig again. I think the closest rock I have is 3875. I've been known to frequent down around 3743 and 3710 with it. Nice rig. I listened to 1885 last night and it was Deadsville. I just came up from the 'large walk-in cooler' and didn't hear any AM on 75 OR 7290/95 at all this morning.

The band has been good all week. I worked Grass Valley Dave, WA6PBJ a few nights ago. The recording below is how Dave sounded at my QTH.

Some of the EU AM stations were coming through pretty nicely on 3705 kHz last night too.

Dave is a friend.  Glad to see you worked him on his Big Rig.  He has a Gk500 also and has helped me along the way.  I will be on 7293 in about an hour.  75 later tonight. We have the Ham radio auction in PHX tonight but will be on late when I get home.  Lets see if the band is open! I really want to work some of you guys on this T3.

I heard you Q5+ on the T3 the one night you had it going. Should be no problem. I forgot,  what you are running for a ant??
