Too Quiet

[caspear1978]

Its just been too quiet up here in northern minnesota, got a pdl 2 up in the air now, there has been no skip for some time now, hope the conditions get a little bit better, what are some good listening channels for upper and lower cb channels, the cobra 2000 gtl im running now, some one had added channels to it, ive been thinking about flipping the switch and finding other channels to work.

Same here Caspear1978, no DX and very little local traffic anymore. You may find some DX in the evenings on 38 lsb.

I monitor 38LSB constantly during the day.
Made more than a few contacts this week. Openings have been short - but productive. Haven't heard MN in a while; but I have made contacts with NY, ON, MI, and PA a few times this week.

When I think I hear an opening; I will make several calls and keep trying . . .
Jump on it.

Ok i guess i spoke to soon about it being quite up here, heard jamaica, hawaii, and pretty much all over Cali today, cali was the loudest on pretty much every channel, heard 4040 out there loud and proud up here, finally good to see the conditions rolling out that way, most of the time its the rest of the states but never hear Cali in there, today was a first for them on my end, i think im going to setup the horizontal side and get a switch box next and see how it sounds on running the vertical side right now, but once i get the switch box and some more coax ill be set,,,,,mark
