I'm guessing the cold weather is good for DX. Yesterday around 11:00 AM, I turned on the Base and all of a sudden Chicago 143 on 36 lsb sounded like he was in my driveway. I hit him on low and had a great contact for 2-3 minutes and then he was gone. Funny weather,

Re: Cold weather contact
Cletus your just going to have to create an ionizing antenna to overcome all that influx.
