11 meter is very quiet?

I talked to Belize and Trinidad on 38 LSB yesterday....but the condition came and went in 15 minutes. Then it was quiet again.....

Did you get the Buffalo Soldier out of the Carribean?

What are your thoughts on out door MLA, would they out perform, a full wave loop antenna I get about 3 dbi over a dipole with one of my loops, and my 2 loops together get me 6 dbi, in a directional pattern. I have no experience with MLA, some people post they are great some say they are not so good. I am always looking for new things to play with, even did a loop array for my tv set, and it is working amazingly well. Yes making antennas is a serious hobby here for the last year or so.

Does the set up use a common Balun?

Sitting in the parking lot at work during my lunch break, I managed to make contact with a guy in Cincinnati Ohio. Surprised the heck out of me when he came back to me, the conditions were a garbled mess with at least two or more people talking at the same time. Just what I needed, today is Friday but I swear it was a Monday until I caught that DX. Just what the doctor ordered, DX therapy!
