Once on 6 about the year 2000, I was talking to a guy in Michigan, but my antenna, an MFJ 3 element 6m flat, was pointed South.
No, I wasn't talking to him off the back of my antenna. All I could figure was that his signal was bouncing off of something and I was bouncing off of something back at him.
I was able to get out on 80m a bit last night, using FT8. First time in fifteen years I was able to log a QSO on that band. My antenna is marginal on 80, to say the least, but the AH-4 can tune it.

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.
Maybe this explains the GPS issues I've had today.
I heard a Tesla (or another electric brand) drive by on 21.042. Sounded like a tortured terminator at 350hz filtering, scared the crap out of me even though I heard the tires as it passed. If the car is that unhappy, well...
The view south, off the deck looking at the road. Also doubles as the shack when it's nice.
