11 meter is very quiet?

Cool, I heard someone saying he was in a desert (I am in Canada,, NO deserts here).
I also thought it was odd that I was getting skip when it is lightly raining here.

There is a desert in Canada. I'm not sure why I know that though.

SFI 105 today, 10 meter bagged Australia again, China, Thailand, Marocco, Indonesia, Japan,Middle east EU, All 100 watt digital on the Imax 2K.

By digital, you mean FT8 or AMTOR or some type of keyboard mode? Or HF digital voice like D-STAR or C4FM? (rare, I know, just wondering).

President McKinley radio and using the President New York (Virigina) little mag mount until my new vehicle comes next month - although I may slap the Wilson 5000 on and throw an amp back in if the DX keeps up like this.

Sounds like its working well as is, that's good results for a antenna that short.

.Forecast...
Solar activity will likely continue at low levels 27-29 Oct with a
chance for R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts on 27 Oct. Chances for
R1-R2 (Minor-Moderate) radio blackouts will decrease slightly 28-29 Oct
as region 2891 makes it way off of the north eastern limb.

.24 hr Summary...
Solar activity reached moderate levels. There were six numbered regions
on the visible disk. Of these, newly numbered region 2891 (N20E78,
Dso/beta) was the most notable while the others were quiet and little
changed. As 2891 rotated onto the north eastern limb it was responsible
for a pair of M1 flares, multiple c-class flares, and a handful of CMEs.
