I've got a Ham neighbor that's only about 400 yards away. I think he's newly licensed/upgraded. I haven't heard him in a few weeks, or talked to him yet, but I sure know when he's on the air!
I need to build a dummy load and try contacting this guy by running about 1 watt through it.

I got mine back today from the same guy! Obviously mail service is suspended in Cuba. You can get another stamp from the post office for free.

I did get JY5FA in Jordan tonight, and have already worked ST5PA, OD5ZZ, and T77LA. The two Iraqi stations I hear frequently are always so damned faint that I seldom even call to them. |

I heard a female broadcast from what appeared to be a highly stressed woman from Australia. It was a rant about covid and the lockdowns and lies, and went into our election fraud. Too much qsb, and it faded before I heard an identifier. It was around 14.285. It was like something from a movie.

Another laughable moment! Someone listed a Cape Verde station on DX Summit, but a Cuban station was loud and clear on the frequency. An Italian station was all excited, thinking he'd gotten Cape Verde, and kept using the Cape Verde call sign when addressing the Cuban. The Cuban kept correcting him on the call sign, and the Italian kept repeating the Cape Verde call sign. I laughed pretty loud when the Italian said, "QSB! QSB!" and then shut up and wouldn't respond to the Cuban who kept calling to him.
