11 meter is very quiet?

I seem to have been in a sweet spot this evening. I was on from 4:30 to around 6, and I wasn't getting the typical train wreck conditions. All I heard were a few solid stations and easily got back to them. Lots of contacts and several good qso's. Most were from the NE and NW part of the US, and North Carolina.
It was a nice surprise!

The band is a loud train-wreck all day long, but the late afternoon conditions from here to Australia & Hawaii have been amazing all this week. Lots of contacts with folks from down there recently.........

I also had late-evening short skip to Southern California, Utah, & Colorado a few days ago as well as a rare backscatter condition that enabled me to talk to a semi-local who's about 70 air miles from me, but on the other side of a very high mountain range.

The thunder and lightning shook me out of bed this morning. Heavy rain here today so no radio until it blows over. Usually these things take about an hour and I should be on the air by mid-morning. Gonna hang on 37L and 35U. Maybe I can hook up with you WDX guys on 35. Hope so.

JJ, I hope the storms pass soon and without incident. I will call on 35U throughout the day, been consistently reaching Scotland and the UK this morning on 37L and have been swinging the beam towards Columbia every so often. If conditions permit, I look forward to making that contact with you. 73s.
