Re: "Solar Weather Blues... It's been a hard week for QRP with..."
I'm hoping that this is why I'm not getting out with my new-to-me QCX-minis, and that there isn't a hardware issue. 🤞
Then again, it could just be all the QRM since I'm in a city.

It has been hard to get some signal out. I hope we see some improvment. SKCC has a SKED page which is helpful to set up a test QSO. I did have W7QQQ reply to me too weak though , and I had KD3KO who was just talking with N2EEO like 80 miles from me not reply when I sent back to him. So, I think probably propagation.
Solar Weather Blues... It's been a hard week for QRP with the "solar tsunami" hitting us, had my 1st ever 119 RST rprt back... Probably a good moment to remember to check the Reverse Beacon Network as see how the bands are working, and also to shift operations where you can to after dark, though I find I have more luck in the morning 0600-0800 local. Other news, tried my hamstick in the back of the pickup and it worked but saw a Japanese ham out a wire on the top rather than the solid element...
