11 meter is very quiet?

[BC Coyote]

In spite of the generally poor conditions, I've made a couple interesting contacts out in the Pacific recently, both new countries for me, and bringing my total up to 85.
I had 274AT0 Pitcairn Island a couple weeks ago, and then this afternoon 135DA0, Darren, from the Solomon Islands. Both places in the way way way south Pacific.....
Both on 27.610 USB.

I must be following you as my leader except no qso period. Been frying eggs again today.

Worked 125 Australia on 38LSB last night at 9PM local time (WA State).

In the panhandle of Texas, static is all there is. Unbelievable!

And 270 miles south of you I had about 1 1/2 hours of decent dx. Nothing to brag about, but it was a little something, which is more than I've had here in the past week.

I'm trying my best to push some up your way, my friend!

Yes, I've had around 12 contacts and they've all be up in the NE. It's all back to being quiet now.

Edit:
I just had a great qso with 212 (David) in the west indies. The island of Grenada. This is the fifth time we've made contact in the past several months.

Today's report from the west coast of Canada: The gentle hiss of static. That is all.

 

[tshows]

Nothing but static and the occasional wood pecker in central MS for the last couple of weeks. I hope everyone has a great week.

 

[TM86]

Central AZ reporting. Had some time earlier today and made a few calls on an uncharacteristically quiet 38, nothing. Did hear some voices briefly on 39, but that faded quickly as well. Didn't even have superbowl traffic to listen to.

It's times like this you can find some rare contacts.
Out of the noise a conversation fades in, as the signals climb above the noise you find out they are located in french polynesia or the philippines.

Thank god for the spring projects and a cloudy but not rainy day. Got to take the motorcycle out and stop and chat with a old marine buddy of mine I haven't seen for a while. I did take the car to the store late afternoon and heard a little what sounded like distant dx but didn't even try. What you call a exercise in patience !
