From VA I've got openings to FL, IL and TX.  Between FL is +20 to 36 on FT8.
It's got to be the hot, humid air.

Ha small world. Yes the opening was to the Tip of Argentina. Worked about 30 people all over the Caribbean, south America and states all over. Best opening I have seen in a while.

Harris was working overtime and kicked the power up a bit for a couple of the really weak stations in Chile, Argentina and Brazil.

After about an hour of FT8 @ 1KW or more it was ice cold to the touch with the fan setup I have.

My antenna is really low and I need to get the Tower up and get the antenna up another 20-30’.
