11 meter is very quiet?

Home early this afternoon and conditions are just barely there. It's enough to work with but not booming by any means.

Turned on the radio this morning and.... hisssssssssssssssssssssss. First day in what feels like months with no skip! The sun must have burped out an excess of electrons again.

Don't feel alone, radio stunk here today also and only made 1 contact yesterday. I notice that solar site has only rated 10-12 meter as only fair for 5-6 days now. When does the summer slow down in DX start ? I don't really remember. But sometimes when the solar site says fair the DX is good. I also noticed not as many members reporting on this post lately.

Listening late this evening (9 pm cst) and now making contacts down under. Just had a nice qso with World radio 677 in Tasmania.
Unfortunately the drunk aussie has started filling the air waves.... I guess he's the equivalent down under version of the 111 guy

That guy really gets out! I had a QSO with him a couple nights ago with my 5555N2 running barefoot at 65 watts......

Looks like we are heading into a second day with no skip....
