11 meter is very quiet?

I got home and as the above posts stated, there is some good propagation. I made a few contacts then the storms moved in.... go figure! I unplugged and shut down for the time being.
Same here with the propagation. Made quit a few contacts in the US, then went to 555 USB and spent an hour or more there with international stations. My last contact was in Aruba.
It's sure nice to see the propagation picking up.

Cooking out here on the west coast! QSO with Missouri at S9+20, then contact with Wales, England and France up around 27.555 and above. Heard some exotics including 327 division Slovenia and 55 division Gibraltar as well.....

Best conditions since last spring. It just keeps getting better and better lately!

Cooking down here in Colombia too. Twenty solid contacts from 1:30 'til 5:30 today from all over. In order - Missouri, Detroit, Puerto Rico, Arkansas, TX 007 Bighorn, Ontario, New Hampshire, Nebraska, TX 55 Houston, NYCity, Maryland, Colorado, Illinois, Harrisburg PA, Long Island NY, Virginia, Ohio, Minnesota, and finally NB909 Tony in Tx was booming with his Icom 7300 and 8-element JoGunn beam. Superb audio and strong signal - constant 10 over on my meter. WOW!! I hope this keeps up. Still . . . no WDXers.

Tons of fun today. Scotland, multiple Northern Ireland stations, Wales, Spain, and the icing on the cake 266DA/0 from Kiribati Island in the South Pacific.
27.540, 570, 580, 610 all USB. Seems like the band is open almost worldwide right now!

Get 'em while they're hot folks!

You're right about that! I've been on the international 555 USB call frequency and it's busy! For me, it's mostly been Brazil, Uruguay, and a few other South America stations. West Indies too.

I started on 37 LSB but there's a few guys running some serious power and acting like an ass.

    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
