DX in northern states tips?

Well I moved from Florida to the mountains of NC and my conditions took a shit. Back in Florida if the sun was out, you could go on 27.385 and it would be a madhouse of stations. Keep in mind my antenna was only 22 feet off the ground. Up here in NC it’s dead. I understand we’re on the down turn of the cycle but them web SDRS Down south are rockin and rollin compared to my receive. You guys in the mountains got any tricks? I feel spoiled getting the chance to experience the solor maximum down south.

4 pin to 8pin mic adapter.

I posted last night about building a custom adapter and what to do with the Mic ground and the shielded ground. People told me just time together got it done. Microphone works, sounds like shit, but works. Now, when you look up the pin outs of standerd 4 pin microphones there’s a wire labeled RX. I tried looking but I cannot for the life of me figure out what that wire dose. I’m trying to figure out if I need to incorporate into the eight pen connector. Attached is a picture of the pin out of my Radio.

8 pin radio 4 pin mic

Trying to make an adapter for my kenwood ts430s to use standard 4 pin microphones. My question revolves around the mic ground and common ground. I understand kinda that 8 pin radios separate them. I’m using an old 6 pin adapter I have that already has a 4pin female. I heard in one video that says it’s impossible but there’s adapters on eBay for 30 bucks so I don’t think it’s impossible. I was just trying to save a few cents doing it on my own.
