11 meter is very quiet?

Some great dx again today. I had my first ever contact to France with Nicholas. He was hitting me with a solid S5. Plenty of contacts stateside from all over again. I heard Kate in the UK but never got a chance to try to contact her.

38 was a cluster so I didn't hang on there for long. Tomorrow I am going to try to find some UK stations working FM.

In San Angelo on a family emergency. No radio, missing it all

On October 9th, this past Sunday, Europe was rolling in strong 11 meter lower sideband. Made contacts in Ireland, lots of UK, and one in West Germany. Could hear a Netherlands station, but could not make contact on my ground plane.

All in all it was a glorious day for me and my Cobra 142 GTL. I was testing a K-PO NM-532 microphone wired four pin. Then I was using a 5 to 4 pin adapter. It was working great.

Made a few contacts to Delaware, Maryland and S Carolina, went in for dinner, went back to the shack and conditions were gone....

That's just how it goes sometimes.

Glad to see mostly everyone is getting some kind of action.

I've been getting So Cal every time I play on 11 meters. Not going to lie I have been neglecting it as I have been playing on 10 meters. Way more organized and can learn more there lol.

I bounce back and fourth. I have learned my radio talks further than I thought. I have learned theres a lot on 11 that just likes to ignore you. As soon as I got o 10 my mind was blew at how far I could actually talk.

What time I get to turn on the radio I've been hearing a lot of activity on 11 meters. Maine, Mass, RI, Vermont, NY, and Florida. Also heard CA Australia Ireland, and Scotland. Nova Scotia was in there too. Didn't make any contacts. The mudduck mobile ain't getting out. LOL.

I was out this morning running errands and Germany was coming in fairly strong and several UK stations.

No HF for me this evening. Currently monitoring the local net as we have active tornado warnings

This morning up until about noon was going off in NW Oregon but I left my truck and when I got back in...nada. Seems about normal recently.

And by "truck" I mean a 23 year old Tacoma. Mobile is all I have right now but after being away from CB since the 80's it is plenty fun. My 5' Skipshooter arrives tomorrow. Looking forward to testing it out.
