I can attest that it’s also mad crazy on 11m today!!!!!

I know it is pure madness on 20m. Normal hams are probably on 11m to avoid the chaos.

Edit: Normal was not a good choice, "casual hams" is more what I meant

 

[sp5it]

Pretty busy here.

 

[928bolo]

Don’t like phone contests but bands are pretty good.

 

[Blackcat630]

Nice to see 10 and 15 SO active today. Huge signals from the Caribbean contest stations into the midwest. Great to finally have a day off and good radio fun..

 

[The20poundhammer]

40 is rocking again tonight!!

 

[928bolo]

20 still open to EU at 1am on the east coast. Been awhile since that happened.

160 bad again tonight. 80 pretty good to EU.

 

[Rwb]

and id prolly sell my radio shack htx 100 cause only time anybody is on is during contest. not my cup o tea.
where you all at any other time?

 

[928bolo]

There is a lot of activity during non contest periods. You just have to be flexible with bands and modes. Like it or not FT8 is where most of the activity these days. I prefer CW but work a lot neat DX on FT8.

 

[BJ radionut]
