Well, I got my new system up and running. A Nagnum 257 and a KLV-450, up and working on my Starduster (Skylab).

Now I need to make some contacts. Hey, I really like this amp!

Yesterday, channel 38 LSB (27.385MHz) opened up and man was it busy! I heard people talking from early afternoon (California) to late into the night. Give me a call. I go by CA346, just like the Forum.

Good morning gentlemen,
I also run 27.385.0 LSB and the band has been open from ocean to ocean, listen for 962 South Central Oklahoma.
Sorry Crackerjack, I think you're to close for skip and to far for local, I can talk almost into Dallas and Houston bangs in here, as well as ElPaso.

I've made a couple of contacts in Texas this morning and am hoping to catch you out there. The conditions seem unstable but Texas is coming in. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

LSB 27.385.0 It's pretty dead now, but haev been monitoring on and off since about 8:00 am PST. It was really moving for awhile, but it's died ouut now. I did hi OB 03 and DX 450, and a few others in Texas. Texas was pretty much all I could hear this morning.
Sorry I missed ya, maybe this evening or tomorrow if conditions permit.

Thats a 50-55 pound bluefin Tuna. It's small compared to the big guys that get over 600 pounds, but I don't think anything pulls as hard or is as strong as a Blurfin, they really are tough. I am 6'1" and about 280 pounds in the photo to give it some persective.

Didn't hear any California at all this morning or early afternoon, right now the 11 meter band has gone to bed.
might pick back up around 10:00 PM central time, if so I'll be on 27.385.0 LSB. Using my 962 number.
