      Im hitting All North America, South America, Western Europe and some in Africa and Eastern Europe.  I got 2 DXPeditions yesterday.  Im using FT8, 100w, Off Center Dipole getting out pretty good. 20m, 15m are all pretty active also.

        The bands have been great the last couple of weeks. I, for one, am glad to see it. I struggled making contacts over the summer. FT8 is a great way to pick up some DX. I was glad to make a contact with you last month.

          I think thats the second time I was able to work you.  In the past few months Ive been concentrating on hunting POTA only, but started working more lately, love the DXPeditions Ive worked recently.
