11 meter is very quiet?

Was a Cold day here so decided to go to Walmart for supplies. Got in my little Chevy Cobalt & turned on my little McKinley hooked to my little Tram 300 winter in the garage antenna. and Southern California came alive with 2 operators that almost sounded like they were in the car with me. Then came Texas then Colorado than Ireland.
Just too bad my little KL-203 wasn't hooked up. Couldn't believe how good they all sounded on 37 LSB. Just hope my Lincoln II+ ends up sounding that good !

It was banging today on 36-39 lsb. England, Scotland and Italy coming into SoCal…unbelievable!!!!

I was busy with other things until around 3:00. I went to lsb 16 and had a qso with @AmericanEagle575
Then got back on around 4:00 and had a qso with @MH933 on 37 lsb.
I'll take quality over quantity any day!!
Thank you my friends, for the qso.

I just made my first ever Arkansas contact with my new Lincoln II+ and beginning to think I'll add a Galaxy FC-347 frequency counter to it if it can be wired to it as a bag of tricks !

Noise floor really low on sideband today and traffic but did get acknowledged by 13 13 in Oklahoma today running barefoot on my McKinley and Tram 300 on 36 LSB. Perks you up running barefoot but makes you wonder what your Tram 3000 or Stryker SR10 would do. Gotta road trip coming up the little Tram 300 going to have to ride shotgun in the back seat or garage.

There are several people on 27.370 lsb.
New Hampshire, Arizona, Tulsa Ok and CA

Band is holding good so far.

I made it home about 5 o'clock cst and the band was wide open! Worked the east coast (@Shadetree Mechanic was listeningfor you) down to Florida, eastern and western Canada, and the northwest corner as it got later. Pretty successful hour then it started falling out, even made it on a udx-483 video gate and said he was going to title it 828 in the Lonestar. Pretty cool!

Went back to the shack after dinner and it was intermittent from the west coast, Hawaii and Australia but no qso. I got a reply from a 227 or 228 from northern Cal but just as quick as he was there he was gone again.

 

[ForestRunner98]

Very nice today after work(5pm PST) Made contacts with Nebraska, Texas and also with 888 in Florida and 79 on the big island of Hawai’i. Nice drive home!!!

 

[Eldorado828]

Finally made it on a video gate. Hey ma I made it on the picture show, I'm famous!

Thanks for thinking of me, got my kidney stone removed today. Spent the remainder of the day in the big chair at my mother in law's house. But I am feeling good, going back to work tomorrow. Will hopefully get some radio time soon.
