11 meter is very quiet?

A lot of it is what I call "spotlight" skip.

I've shot all sorts of skip, but I got to experience that one for the first time last week. Started the truck, heard a station sounding like it was local and got back to her like a local. She turned out to be in N. California and I was in Chilliwack, BC at the time. Drove out of the parking lot and she disappeared completely!
First thing I thought of was your post, Coyote!

Made my first Indiana contact just running the Raw power of the Q6 Pro in my Cobalt today so that was different for a change but I was on top of one of our knobs. Like they say Even a Blind Squirrel gets a Nut Sometimes. LOL

Skip continues to be dead down here. I don't turn my radio on every day, but at least a couple of time a week. There's been just about zero skip for most of the summer.

No change here. Skip comes in for at least part of every day...in and out, in and out. Mostly California, other western states, Canadian prarie provinces, and Jack on the Big Island of Hawaii. A few weak Aussies in last night as well.
