11 meter is very quiet?

Some good conditions from the northeast this morning.
I made it on Radioman 260's videogate.

I am at the 10:28:35 on the mobile antenna then later at the 10:38:20 (about 17:35 youtube video time) using my 2 element beam just 12 feet off the ground. I am running my Stryker 955 with a Ranger Sra 198. Nothing has been done to the radio other then the conversion for 11 meters.

AM or SSB? I stayed away from 38lsb…too many stations…36, 37 or 39 was much better to understand numbers and such.

Yeah I was on SSB and I did connect to Arizona once but not after that. In the afternoon I put my Uniden PC-122 back in the car to try it on my new Tram 3500 antenna (Which has a Flat Line SWR ) and couldn't connect with anyone. I did jump to 39 SSB to get away from the mess and had Northern Idaho bombing in but still couldn't connect. I have to figure out if my KL-203 P has a problem or not. Time to get my buddy to come up and talk to me on my base to check it out. Sometime life is a Contest ! LOL

It’s hopping today too but not as wild as yesterday. Nice contacts with mid-west, east coast and Canada. There was also some jerk (SSB police) telling guys how bad they sounded, Roger beeps, waving…what an miserable angry man.

I lucked out here in SC Missouri and made 4 contacts to the high desert of Southern California. Yes, it was ripping!

Yeah there is always some miserable immature back-side that ruins it for everyone. Some people should just do themself and everyone else a favor and step into the traffic or find a high bridge to jump from. They were tormenting the waves today also.

I am sure your station is working fine. There were a lot of big stations out there. I would think the same when I ran my 203….with the 503 and conditions not as much.
