11 meter is very quiet?
- Thread starter Tweetybird
- Start date
Was out in the mobile for about 10 minutes just now, lots of Sacramento stations making contact on am17 with Mr Sherman in southern NM. 163 was hitting me in Lodi like he was across the street.
Stuck at a hotel in downtown Little Rock tonight. Good food and good times. But no radio, no locals, no skip.
I like to use Petro Stopping Centers (truckstop chain), but — take it from me — be very glad you aren’t stuck at the Petro in Little Rock.
It’s a busy intersection of IH40 a short ways from town. Nothing but aggravation on AM-19 from that corner and it’s three truck stops.
Just “why” that Petro is bad I’ll leave to imagination. The stretch of 40 to West Memphis has the heaviest truck traffic in the nation to get across the river, and it’s stressful on a good day. The idea of truckstop as oasis doesn’t exist at Little Rock.
.
Eastbound big rig traffic starts piling up from Russellville all the way to Memphis now. The bridge should be completely open in another week so that will help. But like you said, I40 has some of the heaviest traffic in the nation on a good day.
Got conditions out of the NE here in Ky on 28 am right now
Carried on a conversation earlier with montreal and chicago at the same time from here in SC
Made a few contacts.... 011 in Jamaica, 127 FL, and a few others. Seems to be in and out right now.

I hear some Jimmy Hendrix being blasted right now on 38lsb here in Ontario Canada.
Never fails I'm stuck at work and conditions are picking up. Here lately every off day I've had conditions have been horrible
The Amarillo petro is a pretty decent one (just fueled and got a bite there yesterday) but has a bad rep (along with the ta)due to some of the things that have made the news there. Gotta love the iron skillet!
Sporadic conditions here at the top-o-texas for several days now. Nothing that'll bring in or take out a good wave.....
Newly-installed antenna coax in the t680 KW has made revelatory the possibilities of Eleven Meter Radio versus just having a CB. Radio.
Sideband is almost as clearly heard as what’s on AM. Skip really IS as good as what’s local.
I’ve heard we’ve some solar activity? If so, I have it adding to my impressions. What’s to be heard past 2200 on AM-19 is impressive.
Was this thread almost two years ago made me want to have Sideband performance in mobile, mainly the big truck. Plus Dan 2NC95s words on the President Lincoln II.
Hit the mark early today. Still need more fire in the wire, but graduated from a CB to having an Eleven Meter Radio.
Best to all!!
