Hi, Keith here in Amherst, NY

With the one knee still recovering, I was not about to brave the ravenous hoards in the malls on Black Friday, but my Handicap sticker lets us find a parking spot more easily. SO I sat in the truck listening on the HTX-100 while the daughter was shopping...

Heard between 1430Z and 1800Z from the mobile in the Buffalo, NY area:

For a rig that's 25+ years old, a cut-down CB antenna, naked ears and a 3 KHz filter, this is an outstanding log. I gotta get a better rig in the truck. Right after I get a winning Lotto ticket I'll look into it, hi!

For a short time, between runs out to the mauls, I listened to Steve's WEBSDR and he's hearing ZL's but no EU's. Strange stuff this propagation is, eh?
