11 meter is very quiet?

Looks like the well dried up and I'm back in a drought again. Was fun while it lasted though.

Don't feel alone Bud, this time of year is Flaky. My well was dry again yesterday too.

Conditions were pretty good out here up until yesterday when it really thinned out. Still managed to talk to Hawaii, Nevada, and Idaho. But today is absolutely dead except for a couple locals. Thank goodness for locals LOL!

I don't have a Class D rig in the upstairs office (where I'm typing this from) so I make use of an IC-7000 for 12/10M operation and listening elsewhere.

For the past several days it's been absolutely quiet on upper HF. Did a sweep from 26.0 to roughly 28.5MHz today and the only activity I found was on Ch11 - the Secondary Bowl. Odd, because I'm close enough to a couple interstates that I should hear a fair amount of traffic on Ch19 day or night. Nada.

The 10M FT8 watering hole (28.074) is also dead. I though the 7000's receiver had died somehow so I disconnected the coax, put my 7200 on 29.000 along with the 7000 and transmitted a 5w test signal. Received loud and clear.

In many decades of playing radio I haven't seen things quite this dead.
