11 meter is very quiet?

I call them contesters with no contest keeping in practice! LOL. I heard Kuwait yesterday on 28.5??, he was pretty busy. I at least like to exchange working condition and such. I think I irritate some when I go into that and dont just give them a call sign and 59 report. I will also do the 59 deal if I need them. I think its funny when they have to go back and forth 6+ times to get a call sign right and then say your 59!!!! WTF!!!!

It was 9K2ES, yes around that frequency, but about 3 weeks ago. I thought it was pretty cool that he could hear me reasonably well (with some QSB) while I was only using 5 Watt. Most people down there seem to be using 1KW or more.

Last night around midnight CET I heard him on 40 meters, didn't bother to give him a shout, I just listened. He was busy back then as well.

NEXT WEEK-END, December 13th and 14th.

From the suggestions previously offered, let's tighten up next week-end's 11 meter skip schedule.

Saturday, LSB 16 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific.

Sunday, USB 40 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific.

Get the word out!

Sounds good. I should be around most of the weekend. If all goes as planned, I'll have the Sirio 2016 in the air by then. There's a lot of you guys I haven't talked to since last winter.
Looking forward to it. WDX!

Copying the mail and made a contact with Texas off the side of my beam with the house in the way. And that's with 40w on an Ares 2!


Don't forget to take the batteries out of your unused power microphones.
