11 meter is very quiet?

You got that right, Eldorado. I heard all sorts of stuff coming in and then the bottom would drop. 20 minutes later would bring a new wave of skip and then the bottom would drop out again. I got to exchange a few words with 305 out of South Carolina on LSB 38 and that was it.

Tamitha Skov, the space weather prognosticator says we are seeing signs that solar cycle 25 is coming. I'm still looking.

Come on cycle 25! I remember around 2009/2010ish it seemed like it was last Thursday night every night, worked a lot of stations with a galaxy 959, had lots of late nights with lots of contacts. We had a forum call sign list back on the CB Tricks site and it seemed pretty regular talking with forum members there.

When the skip comes back, LSB 38 is going to be a log jam. I think that'll be a good time to renew the effort to revive LSB 16.

Hit 649 Belize couple times yesterday evening. Skip would drop and creep back in. Could here the guys out in Phoenix but no contact.

Dogs decided to fornicate and I had to curtail my radio efforts due to a dog knot. Guess the sporadic rf effects was an aphrodisiac to K9 senses.

Funny conditions here in RI . 38 Lsb will be weak & hard to make contact , but AM channels are slamming !

Nothin on AM here....LSB 38 is weak also. Just made CW call, a response, weak and faded out.

Now can hear someone with a 1,2,3,4 count but weak. Sounds like Belize

Yup. Have Stryker 497 that got struck and let out blue poof. Burned out finals and prolly udder stuff too. That radio made good AM contacts.

Still yet to hook up new 2970N2 in box.....but have to swap out a toilet, and two faucets today.

Here's the way it worked today , couldn't pry myself away from my local channel 21 am . All the Big Boy's showed up from 6 - 28 ! I had some good conversations all afternoon w/ Ricochet & Double Trouble , if they were on their regular channels I probably couldn't have got a break ! This was direct line almost all afternoon ! What a day " Ol' 357Magnum " had ! 73 & God Bless , Leo

Nuttin as usual.

SSB DX good again here today as well. States S & S/SW of me here in NC. Also heard lots of NC stations that I usually don’t hear.

Pretty sure I heard forum member ENC Pirate aka “Ocean One” at Cape Hatteras NC. No QSO.

 

[Unit 75]

Old 75 and Wolfman were stirring the pot on ch 20 am this afternoon from the Bam. We were talking everywhere from Florida up to NYC, Philly, Jersey and Michigan. I then slid up to 38 LSB and talked with our buddy, ENC Pirate for a bit. Skip was good today. Looks like game time.....so Roll Tide Y'all

 

[Eldorado828]

Nothing down here in Texas.... sunset usually brings something in so I'm hoping for that.

Nice to get you on the band today, strong contact, wonder how you snuck into my yard?,lol After we made contact I realized I had the beams pointed North, just think of what your signal would have been if I had been pointed at you. 73's my friend.
