    11 meter is very quiet?

    I was hearing something yesterday but couldn't make it out. Was nothing but garble not static.

    I heard some action today in the mobile which was refreshing ! Gives you a little enthusiasm for what might be coming.

    I did manage to hear the radio put out a little today but most of the time it was a one way convo. Not worth trying.

    Don't feel alone, I haven't heard anything in almost a week maybe better on the base or the mobile. That Sun must be laughing at us !

    Well at least I know isn't just me. I haven't heard a sole in quite some time now on both the Base station or the Mobile. Just like the bottom just dropped out and nothing left. I hope the fall action gets started soon !

    Since the solar cycle is "on the way down" I thought I would ask...

    I know what your saying Brother, DX has got worst lately but I did try a little this morning. First the DX 2547, Q6 Pro both spotty. Then I seen one of my Galaxy 979s setting on the shelf and couldn't resist giving it a whirl. I lucked out with it and made a mild Orlando Florida contact with it...

    LOL No problem with ham talk here, we all share the air waves and are suppose to all get along. I'd love to get my ticket if I didn't have so many projects going on keeping me from focusing on study. I did that once to get my Waste Water Treatment license and it wasn't fun. It's called having...

    I did some checking last night and they say we won't bottom out until around 2030-2031 so we have about 3.5 more years to ride this cycle and fall is almost here. Skip has been crap here lately so thanks to projects to keep me out of mischief.

    Made my first Indiana contact just running the Raw power of the Q6 Pro in my Cobalt today so that was different for a change but I was on top of one of our knobs. Like they say Even a Blind Squirrel gets a Nut Sometimes. LOL

    Skip was suppose to be poor today but as I was showering to get ready to go to a friends viewing that passed away the 2547 was banging it out but the plate was full today so could only listen even on the mobile. I will say as much as I don't really care for my location I feel fortunate I don't...

    Was thinking of you and hoping you weren't in that wild fire area. I don't wish that on anybody !

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Thanks for the heads up but I disconnected my antenna a couple days ago because they keep predicting scattered thunder storms & where there is thunder there is lightening. The weather has been crazy lately. First it was hot and dry & the lawns burnt up. Now we're back to crazy rain storms with...
