Yep, it's been an insane day. I've filled three notebook pages with all the stations I've heard coming in. Made upwards of a dozen contacts before everyone got on and now my 4 watts is pretty much buried under all the traffic (figures, 1-2 days before my amp arrives...)
I heard south africa for a while around lunchtime, guy said he had 1 kw I think but even still. Nova scotia, Jamaica, Bermuda, all on the air. Talked to east coast, west coast, Texas and Florida, crazy crazy day. And it's blowing snow like crazy here in MN.
Now I know why people like directional antennas for certain purposes, being in the middle of the continent has been rough today it's just washing in from all directions. Fun day though.
