11 meter is very quiet?

[FlyBoy50]

Real sporadic around here, mostly Jamaica or South East USA when it happens. One time in the mobile on a hill top I heard S. America and thought I might connect with JJ so I started shouting to no avail. I keep trying hoping to get lucky but have to get my SWR meter hooked up to my mobiles and they are both Q6 Pro and their antenna connection is the worse feature on that radio. There is room for improvement.

Just had a nice QSO with NeedleBender 24 Francis 20 miles north of Belfast Ireland on 27.375LSB. He's there now. Getting some NE corner coming in.

Pretty good conditions this morning.
One hour and two cups of coffee. A very nice way to start the Saturday morning.

Good Morning all, looking at the Conditions online as of 6am,not looking too promising, however I'm going to try to get on the air around 2pm today on 37 LSB and I'll also be checking in on 35 USB at the top of every hour for the WWDX Members net hopefully,May everyone have a Blessed weekend and let us all take a moment to give thanks for the men and women in uniform who didn't come home,so that we might all continue to have the God Given Freedom's in this country that we have!!

The last two evenings have been insane. WI, IA, MI, TN, OH, KY, PA, VA, W.VA, NC, SC, GA, and Fl. Multiple contacts in each state. At times the roar was so loud I couldn't talk to locals 10 miles away, but had no problems at 300-800 miles. Been a long time since I've had skip like that.

 

[BC Coyote]

We've had a pretty decent north-south e-skip path open from here down to CA, UT, CO, OR, NM & AZ & Northern Mexico for the last few days. It stops and starts, but I've seen some really big signals at times!

Also the usual Hawaiians, Aussies & Kiwis booming in here every evening. After 40 years playing with radio I still find it amazing that I can talk to the outback of Australia like it's just down the road, but I can just barely hear the most powerful stations out of Vancouver, which is only a bit more than 100 miles away (and through some mountains). Radio's crazy like that!
