Sorry, folks, but I'm in a poll mood.
When you do get on the air, what bands do you appear to have the most success with?

All of 'em except 160, depending on conditions. For now.
60 meters has been interesting this winter with the new rules on modes and ERP.

I get out well on 20 but when 10 is hot, it's my favorite. 40 kinda sucks around my QTH—the noise level is atrocious most of the time.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Since I primarily operate contests, my best bands (based on number of QSOs per band) are:
1) 40m
2) 20m
3) 80m/75m
4) 15m
WARC band and 60m activity here is sparse, at best.

Im a ragchew kind of guy.

Not necessarily due to propagation so much as finding people to BS with.

I can barely work out of California on 40 and 80
20 is a DOG FIGHT
17 I only have a miserable vertical on
15 I do pretty well on
12: same vertical problem
10: not open very often, but when open, great.
Pat, you are doing something wrong. I do pretty well with verticals, and I don't have a good radial field down... you should be doing at least as well. Especially since you have something I don't: Amps.Originally Posted by wa6mhz

Pat seems to have a lot of trouble that others in his state don't have. His constant bitching makes one wonder if he's just full of shit.
I can work CA stations left, right, and center on both 20m and 40m, with 100 watts and wire antennas. The only time I've heard Pat was on 15m during one of the QRZ holiday nets last year. Even then, he wasn't above S7 here, and I assume he was using an amp at the time.

Methinks Pat has some issues in regards to antenna. With my subpar antenna, I hear CA just fine.
No problem hearing CA here either.
