11 meter is very quiet?

I'm sick and off work and it's my birthday.... But the big perk is that I got a ton of radio time in yesterday and today.
Conditions were fantastic here this morning....made about a dozen contacts. Hawaii, New York City, Long Island, Manitoba, Ontario, Upstate New York, Arkansas, Alabama, Nevada and more. Interesting mix of E and F2 skip going on at the same time.

One thing I've noticed recently is that there are WAY less troublemakers on the radio during the week. Seems like weekends are when everyone releases the built up tension from their work week on the radio waves. I guess even the 11111 guy has to work sometimes LOL!
 
Just made contact with @Brother DXer 226 on my new Anytone AT 5000 with a KL 203. Always great to talk to forum members!

And thank you, @Shadetree Mechanic
Brother, this new radio sounds great! And that kl203 is a perfect fit. I think I've got three or four of those 203s around here. Now I may have to look into the AT5000.
It's been a while and it was great hearing you out there, booming in right over that pile.
Cheers and beers!!

9:00 pm and conditions are hopping! I haven't seen this in a while. Skip is shorter than earlier today. Getting Missouri, Indiana, Georgia and Alabama.
1100 pm and still conditions down here around San Antonio. Same areas you were getting. Made a lot of contacts on AM. Even made a contact on sideband to Amarillo.Time to hit the hay.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
