Sorry had to jump to group on 3684.  

Doubt MO to NC on 75m would work well.

Nope. Propose one. Extra sub-band OK. VA to NH may require 40 or 80 this time of evening.

AE subs OK here too. I've been scanning 40 & 80 and it looks like a picket fence in 5k centers. Can you do 160?

I'm there but NC to NV will be a stretch without power.

True - I only have 100 watts.  And I can't go below 3800.

ETA:  Looks like 3640 is where it's been happening recently (?).

I just took my two exams today so I can finally play with radios for the first time in a while... I'm heating up four 811 tubes, nevada should be a pice of cake. I haven't checked frequencies and still need to tune so let me know if there is an open freq on 40 or 80.   I dont even know how bands have been so maybe 20 if you want.

I'm going to heat up my dinner & can be on in 15 min (call it 0200 UTC).  If you find a spot before then, post it up.

Ok - I'm back.  I'd like to try 80, as I don't have a good feel for where I can go.

Yeah, I could hear your CQ AFRCOM very faintly a time or two on 40 - then nada.  I've only got 100w - and as a "no code", haven't learned CW yet :)

yea too bad band conditions dont seem to be cooperating... im running an amp but have lots of NV contacts qrp on the same antennas.   This is my first time on the air in 3 months though so I dont really knoe what bands have been good.  Although we tried 80, 40, and 20, so as far as ssb goes we are SOL today.  Defintiely will be on for the near future a lot though.
