80 meters has been wild here and there....lots of fighting and name calling which, although a shame, can be hilarious! I enjoy my nightly scanning of the bands;
Modern rig: Tecsun S-2000
Solid state: Zenith Transoceanic Royal D7000Y
Tube: Hammarlund HQ-180
Best thing I ever did was install an attic antenna. 100' horizontal. Sometimes the built in whip antenna works better on battery power down on the beach though.
Great hobby.... they still haven't " squelched " us . . .
