DX Reports - use interesting DX contacts section?

[Big Kahuna]

I've noticed that we've been using the "11 meters is very quiet" thread for a couple of years to post up reports when DX is working and just realized we have a "interesting DX contacts section".

Would we be better off to just call that section DX Reports and start using it for all DX reports when it's working? Or even move it higher up? I never even noticed it until today

I think it’s mostly because it’s become a “pet thread” and we tend to have fun with it...and no other reason.

I haven't looked at that thread for about a month now..........

What would. Be cool is if someone started one of those real time dx clusters for 11m.

There are several.

There are several.

Which ones are active? I haven't seen an 11 meter one that gets updated regularly. I usually use the ham ones but there are few 10 meter or other updates.

I use ClusterDX on a daily basis. It's active 24/7 and 365.

Theres also cluster27, and LF11....both very active.

Correction: Not "Cluster27", but DX27.

Those ones tend to be mostly European though. I wish there was one with more USA 11m stations participating. Maybe that's my next project

Europe is in a good spot for propagation right now. E across Europe, morning prop to Asia, midday to Africa, and afternoon to South and Central America. Hard to beat that. Anyway, I think that’s why so many log entries by Europe.

But...I see all the world logging on ClusterDX.

I don’t see anywhere logging 2div to 2div. I log my international contacts on ClusterDX, but don’t log anything within the US. I’m not sure if that’s what you mean.

Got this today from 201 Div...logged by both of us on ClusterDX, and we chatted on the website after the QSO.

Yeah that's what I mean. Sometimes DX will be working across the US but not outside of North America and that's when it would still be nice to see some logs.

Just listen to 10m beacons. You'll know when, where and how strong propagation is.

The best one going for many years was the clusterdk, but the owner of it said enough and shut it down last year.
I have tried at least a dozen times to reg. with clusterdx.nl in the last year now and still can't get on. So I have just been using the DX27.

PJ is actually a member here, but hasn’t been on in ages.

I’d email him if unable to register.
