11 meter is very quiet?

Dx was iffy at best for me here in my part of Texas. I managed a half dozen contacts and a couple of good qsos. My last qso was with @BC Coyote on the west coast of Canada. This was a nice surprise. It's been a while, Sean. Maybe we can do this again over the weekend.

Conditions are fantastic I my part of the world today. I won't have much time for Dx but I did take the chance and made some good contacts this morning before getting busy with life.

If you can dx today, it's a good day for it and I hope you fill up pages on your books!

 

[Brother DXer]

It was definitely busy! I made several contacts, all in a short time and also had a good qso with a friend that I haven't heard in a while.
A good day for dx, so far.

I've been on 16 LSB and 37 LSB. The only issue I've had is the amount of stations I hear. Lots of dx.

Lots of dx.

It's been a good DX day so far. I made three WWDX contacts on 16 including talking to 226 no less than three times in one day LOL! And another 10 or 11 contacts on other channels....26.805FM, 27.365 & 445 LSB mostly. Hearing Australia & New Zealand starting to come in now.

my apologies, Mr 226. i was in the mobile in a snow storm. tried to qsy to 560usb, thought you said 360, then you got cut down by others. flipped between 560 and 360 usb and lsb many times trying to catch you without going in a ditch, but no luck. your radio was sounding good as always in northeast ohio.

No apologies necessary, my friend. I heard you a few times, or what I thought was you. It seems like we were battling mother nature and those big strappers covering everyone up. It was always something.

I catch myself often running my gums. I do my best to keep it short. This ol Kraco has been a blast for today. Have it parked on 40 USB for tomorrow.
