11 meter is very quiet?

Very regionally specific propagation yesterday.

I picked up a lot of Texas stations yesterday. A QSO between several San Antonio stations was clogging up LSB38 for a while. 1202 outside of Dallas and I were able to make contact. A couple of stations in Cincinnati also cut through.

Yeah, I'm local to the San Antonio area, lots of locals use 38lsb as just a ragchew channel

Made some good contacts up North yesterday on 38 LSB around lunch time. MI, ID,IN, Canada, PA... Made contact with a guy on 28, can't remember his handle, it was watt something I believe. Good sounding radio though.
*edit to add*
The 99V2 is awesome. Fine and coarse clarifier had to be set at 11-1130 but everyone was on freq and I was to them. @Slowmover I used your echo setting recommendation and was told I was one of the best sounding rigs heard so far that day.

Yesterday morning around 9:00 am here in NC, I heard a couple people talking on channel 31 AM that I have never heard. Was on my inverted V dipole and barefoot radio doing about 4 watts average. Keyed up to say hello, and found out they were in New Hampshire. Talked to a few people in TX barefoot too.

The dipole is an amazing antenna! The contacts were off the ends of the dipole and not broadside. It's up about 27 feet now, and I am working on getting it to around 40 feet above ground.

10-4 on the dipoles being amazing antennas

Still have some now in the Midwest, all Northeast, New England. Heard a WWDX member Viking77 in CT earlier on .385, but QSB took him out on my end before I could make the contact.

38 LSB: Spoke with 111 up north today while driving home. Couldn't log it while driving and forgot where he was from by the time I got home. Made about 4 contacts on the short drive. This was around 1500 hrs.

I have no idea. Going to be storming for a week in SoCal so I took the antenna down.

There was a fair amount of activity yesterday. 360 in No. Carolina was having his way on LSB 38 for quite a while. But it has become more common for me to have success from down here in reaching the northern parts of Florida. I managed to connect with 514 in Panama City, 943 in Panama City Beach and 113 in Pensacola. Quite a few Atlanta and north Georgia stations also were making the trip.

Interesting day with lots of short hop skip.

38 LSB is busy. 360 NC had be cleanest sounding radio I heard. Apparently we were tuned perfectly to each other because we had zero issue talking over the beehive. Most contacts were from FL to Illinois so I guess pretty much the eastern coast area.

Not sure if it was you but made a quick contact with a 556 running a 2 pill yesterday afternoon (2117 Ontario). If so station sounded good.
