I'm going out to warm up the station and try to make a few contacts this afternoon. Got a couple more things to finish up inside, first.

The band is cooking again today. As of a few minutes ago I heard AM QSOs on 7270, 7280, 7290 and 7295 kHz.

Enjoyed a little over an hour of operating despite the 45 degree garage temp. Worked K4HX, K1BYD, K4ULP, K1KW and heard numerous other stations hopping in as several of us were signing out. Hadn't worked Chuck for a while so it was good to catch up with him again.

TNX for the chat, Steve. Fun as always. Left the station up and running, may check later to see how conditions are. A lot of AM activity up and down the band today instead of just the usual 1-2 spots.

More action this afternoon. Currently (3PM) hearing QSOs on 7290 and 7270 kHz. Radio China is on 7285 but not bothering anyone.

Had a nice QSO with Rich-K1ETP and George-N2LJO on 7275 kHz.

just quit your job and maybe you can get some assistance on your bills so you will have more time for radio.
