11 meter is very quiet?

[freecell]

SW to Hawaii is working right now. Can hear some faint signals in the NW but not worth trying to fire up the radios as likely won't hit anyone.

Just listening to motor mouth talk to showdown - he turned up his audio and went overmod, didn't sound good. First time I've heard him sound that distorted.

Its not much more pricy than living in SoCal. Besides I don’t want a house right on the beach.

$6 gallon of milk, $5 twelve eggs, 1bd apt in a bad neighborhood $1800- $2000 mo, starting home prices for run down 2bd shacks is $500,000 if your lucky. Yea hawaii is pricey. Not to mention a MAJOR housing shortage. Lots of jobs and nowhere to live. Trust me i know. Born and raised hawaiian. Just left, tons of locals leaving, all in oregon, washington etc. All haoles in hawaii now. Its a shame. Anyway thats not what this thread is about. Dont wanna be a highjacker. No skip here in the nw corner, still. This is getting very lame

Truth. Lived there for years. If you don't have family there or military housing you are sunk.
Its a LOT more than living in Southern Cali no offense lol. Not even close. Been there done that. One haole kamaaina co signed that lol.
Heard HI in there yesterday for about 2 min and back to silence again here in TX.
Lived in WA and OR as well among other places. Groundwire.... Are you following me

Exactly!
Same here. Heard hawaii last weekend for like 5min on 6, then gone. Seemed like a One way connection too lol, i hear them but they dont hear me, and im running 6kw. Mobile though.

 

[lonestarbandit]

Only running 300 on a imax2000 I had no chance at getting back to them. And its still 95% dead.
I picked a fine time to spend money rebuying all the stuff I sold out of 20 years back lol.
Wife said so where is the talkers ....you spend the money now you don't talk? (Shes filipina lol) me left staring at the radio..ummmm... Yes well you see.... (Hopes she doesnt notice I just ordered that new 2950) even leaving me questioning my wisdom it is dead dead dead here in Central Texas.

Thanks for the Hawai’i tips!! I don’t really drink milk, eggs are $4.00, average home where I live is 800-900k ...I think we can swing it. Besides we live well below our means. Just a dream but hopefully I can get there!!

As for 11m today..no can do. Was up in a tree with a chainsaw trimming. Honey-do list!!

[ForestRunner98]

The cycle that comes in for a day or two and then disappears for weeks.

 

[Slowmover]

Swapped the 99V2 back into the Pete. Nada, Zero, Zilch on Sideband.

Haven’t heard Skip in ages. Not at all like the past three years where Spring started to give some up.
