Right about the time you posted that dream pic the band opened up here in EN82 southeast michigan to both texas EM12 W5VB and W4ICU florida EM70 for a quickie. I was on my Lafayette HA-460 into a M2 loop about 15 feet off ground when I made contact. I fired up the Clegg Zeus station for alot more power but by time it warmed up I lost my condtions for the evening.
As I type, band is open across the U.S. and into China, South Korea, Japan , and even a report of a contact between the mid-west and Sweden.
