11 meter is very quiet?

A slight shift in conditions last night resulted in short skip to Texas and Oklahoma. Pretty rare and only lasted 30 minutes, but very welcome after days of dx silence. So far this evening it's been Florida, South Carolina, and Ohio. Hope other forum members are having better conditions as well.
Things are weird. Worked all day mowing and trimming because it's suppose to rain again and I was in bad need of a mowing. The solar site said poor conditions today but when the work was done I decided to run to town for a sandwich and a cappuccino. The Q6 Pro was busy on both 37 & 38 LSB but couldn't connect to save my butt. I guess it is experiment time. I'm going to yank out the Q6 Pro & reinstall the McKinley & KL 203 P just to see what happens. There is no sense in me being a Hard Head unless I show it. LOL
Sometimes 100-200 watts is all you need to cut through the roar. I've got my ftdx10 with heil mic and 1kw to bust through the crowds tonight. Seems to be working at the moment.
I tend to agree with you about a little extra power. I like the sound of the Q6 pro but think it might not have the guts to operate in my area running on it's own steam.Only a little more experimenting might prove it. Like they say Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained !
11m ssb 27.365 to 27.405 has been apeshit all evening. Wore me out so now on 27.535 lsb with the locals. And enjoying a little skip pulling up a chair and joining us from time to time. Good night for 11m radio.
