11 meter is very quiet?

Just talked to NeedleBender 397 Australia on LSB 395.
DX propagation has finally arrived in my region (500 miles north of Montana). Seems I'm located at the end of the line before the sunspots start to kick in. Yes, I've been talking with you guys down in the USA for awhile ... but you are just neighbours. Ho-hum every day talking over the fence.
Yesterday (Sunday) was a spectacular day for international DX. Contacts were easily made into Europe during the afternoon. Last cycle this never occurred and Europe usually disappeared by noon. As the day progressed, South American started to speak up but they can do better and will. Pacific region starting to show up as well with Australia, Japan and Oceania.
Woo-Hoo! More time to play radio. Oh, I'll still peek over the fence and talk to my neighbours in the USA when I can. Hi Hi!

@Klondike Mike - Do you remember what freq. you heard the Japanese DX coming in on?
I get Australia and Hawaii every day/night but haven't talked to Japan in a couple of decades on 11 meters. Maybe S. Texas is too far south. I need to dust of my Japanese with some QSO's (lived there 40+ years ago).

27.530Mhz - They start to show up in my area during the dinner hour (17:00-19:00 MST). You should monitor your favorite DX cluster for times and frequencies. Good luck!
Conditions not that great this afternoon but did make a Texas & I think a California contact on the old Cobra 2000. Might get better later when I'm at the Grand daughters Volleyball game but that's the way the cookie crumbles ! LOL

I heard @unit_399 calling a few times, but he could not hear me. Glad you are back on the air, conditions were strange today. We will try again tomorrow.
This evening the band was wide open here and I worked the upper side of 11 meters for for a couple of hours solid. As @Brother DXer says, my hand was cramping from keying down so much 
!
I had the chance to get that q6 pro hot enough to fry bacon and it just kept on going.
We'll call it a very successful evening in the world of dx

That's when you know you're getting in some serious dx!
And I missed out today...
Just had a 30 minute QSO with World Radio 108 Scottie and World Radio 349 Gary in western Australia on LSB 27.430; GP to GP. 9pm my time and noon (tomorrow) their time. Conditions were rolling a bit but stayed in solid the whole time. Hardline FTW and Texas is a great place for DX...
Lol you didn't miss out the other day. I listened to 100's of stations trying for well over an hour to get back to 226 Texas...That's when you know you're getting in some serious dx!
And I missed out today...

Yes Sir. That was definitely a good day. I'm sure there will be more to come now that conditions seem to be picking up.
Got to put some fans on it.This evening the band was wide open here and I worked the upper side of 11 meters for for a couple of hours solid. As @Brother DXer says, my hand was cramping from keying down so much

Currently it's a train wreck on anything over .3650 in between channels and all. Still pulling in some good contacts but it's rough and tough tonight.
@Shadetree Mechanic it's crowded my friend and I just couldn't pull you in all the way. We'll keep trying!
