11 meter is very quiet?
- Thread starter Tweetybird
- Start date
To finish the day conditions weren't great but was able to make a contact every time I called CQ. It was almost preferable because when I called out there wasn't 10 different stations calling back and a qso was easy to have. I guess this is the one time I had good propagation while most of you fellas didn't and it's mostly the other way around.
Not a bad way to end the weekend.
All you fine folks have a good start to the week!

It was rough yesterday, I was up in the Merced River Canyon at Railroad flats and talked to a couple guys in Hawaii but that was it for me.

Worked outside like some crazy man all day with no breakfast and finished my job around 3:45 PM so decided to get a early supper, dining out. After eating I decided to take the long way home via one of our small mountain tops. Radio wasn't real active on 37 lsb but Waco Texas come streaming in so I figure take a chance and it paid off. I got a good report from Waco so it re-newed my confidence in my McKinley. Been a while since I made a mobile contact but Texas seems to be a strong player around here and can't figure because a few years ago Florida was the main player around here. I guess it is Live & Learn !
Solar Flare or not, Dx in S.A. was still strong today. Lotsa contacts on 27.375LSB and 27.415LSB.
I did a little radio this evening and conditions seemed to be about like yesterday. Got a contact every time I called out before it was dinner time. It's been enjoyable not hearing the riff raff so that's a plus.
even local chat didnt happen last nite. noise floor here was solid s9 at 7 pm .our group couldnt hear anybody.then about 10 30 is quieter
Yeah I notice a high noise floor at one time also yesterday but that Spring Fever has got a hold on me and I will pay for it today with aches & pains. LOL
I was on for a bit this morning, talked to Ohio, and Justin DX1 the YouTube guy from MO was putting a big signal on the west coast.

Had a fantastic connection with 399 JJ down in Medellin today!
I always appreciate the longer QSO's and being able to chat for a while with other operators.....so many people just want to wave a hand and be done. From British Columbia to Colombia!
Also made it into Prince Edward Island, Iowa, Ohio, and Michigan on the same frequency around the same time of day.

Yup. I was a nice long QSO with 23 BC Coyote Sean in British Columbia today. Got away from the crowd on 36 thru 40, and used the uppers. A whole different radio experience there. I heard Sean talking to another station, and when they signed off,I gave him a shout and we had our turn. Sean, you were loud and clear into S.A. and mother nature held the propagation steady enough that we enjoyed a nice long QSO. Thanks to all the other operators on the freq for standing by and letting us enjoy the contact. Good to finally hook up with you, Sean. We'll do it again soon, Mi Amigo. Have a good evening and 73 from the backwoods of Colombia to the Island in up in British Columbia

@ Geoexplorer69:Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
