Freezing Rain
Getting freezing rain in central IL today. I couldn't get out of my driveway to get to work. Wind is picking up now. Hopefully it will get in the 30's as they forecast. 73 Dan -- KB9JLO https://sites.

W1AW/2
It's cold here but decided to come down to the shack. I tuned around 40 M and stumbled onto W1AW/2 at 7.205 SSB. I tried a couple of times and what would you know? I got him. I couldn't believe it. HU

WX & Other thoughts...
Been cold in beautiful central IL. I just looked and we're having a heat wave - 13 F! We still have snow on the ground. Sure has been a weird winter. I don't remember this much snow since I was a kid.

You got that right. If it's a regular stateside QSO, I sidestep the whole "what rig you got and what power are you running?" I swear 90% of the time your QSO will END right then and there! I guess som

Dave, great job. I did 1000 mi/watt earlier this year with YU5A, Belgrade, Serbia. It's cool to do 1000 mi/watt on SSB. I need to send in for my certificate! 73 Dan -- KB9JLO PS - Sleeps overrated...
