Paul, there are quite a few strong signals around 14030 right now (1905Z) in the CWT contest. I also hear a loud signal at 14040 giving out "599 ND" reports. He is running a big pileup up 1 or 2. I didn't wait for him to ID, but If this the North Dakota week for W1AW, it must be W1AW/0.
Hope your radio is okay.
73, Hal W1NN

Subject: [OhQP-mail] Maybe a bit OT? - propagation question
I'm prepping my station and borrowed KX3 for this weekend's OQP.
I have 3 different wire antennas and a shortish longwire for listening - this is hooked to my old Heathkit SB-301.
I have been trying to check out my antennas and get familiar with the KX3.
BUT. I am hearing very few signals on any band and have checked pretty much all day / night.
Has there been anything going on with the sun or elsewise that we are experiencing really bad conditions for the last several days?
If not I have some serious troubleshooting to do!!
73.
