10-4 on Sunny SC. One state above you 455monte. I’m in NC.

Awesome DX lately. Talked to people in 27 states plus Ontario in the last two days.

Also made one contact with Division 1 Italy “Marco”. Did not qualify as a QSO very brief then....poof gone.

But did talk to 357Magnum Leo in Rhode Island again today. He hangs out on Channel 21 Big Radio Boulevard. Went there and called out for him and he answered. We went to LSB and had yet another great QSO. (y)
 
Well put up an old Imax last weekend and glad I did. This weekend was alot of fun. Got the old 2527 out of the closet, plugged in the D104 and had some fun. First base station on 11 meters in a few years at my QTH. Worked from Quebec to Florida yesterday and all points in-between. Today worked Michigan, Oh, TX, OK, LA, AL, MS, Co.. even worked Minnesota and Iowa which I don't hear to often in Illinois. I forgot how much fun 11 meter ssb can be.

73 All, might have worked you or I might soon the way 10-11 has finally open up!!

Dx back in today made first contact on 11 meters into Europe since last year and into the Canary Islands. Looks like its picking up.
That's pretty cool, I've heard Europe many times but have yet to make contact on 11 meters. Had a good time on this side of the pond though. Made 24 contacts in 14 states last night on AM and SSB. Some only lasted a minute or so, but others lasted 10-15 minutes. Sometimes the skip is overwhelming and it's just noise. But when it settles a bit and you make a good clean contact with someone in another state it makes it worth the effort on 11m.
