Lots of 1, 2, 3, 4, and a few loud VE3 stations out here in Wyoming last
night. Several Carrib stations, no Europe. I had to use the receive 4-Sq a
few times while running, then forgot to go back to the vertical. Sorry about
that :-)

Hi Gary,
The conditions just do NOT seem to be there---at least not that I can
detect...
Only DX stations heard & worked here were "VP2M" & PJ5". Nothing from
overseas at all. And the furthest west that I could get was Colorado! Not a
single California, Oregon, or Washington State station to be had anywhere. I
wonder if the west coast has conversely noticed a shortage of 1's, 2's, &
3's...?
Still, I've made 283 QSOs so far, basically just holding down a frequency, &
doing a wee bit of S & P'ing. We'll see what to-night brings...
Good luck, & my vy
