11 meter is very quiet?

[Brother DXer]

He comes and goes pretty quick, but I do vaguely hear him at times. Do you think it may be a recording? You can definitely hear him better than I can

I straightened out the sigma enough to make the day, not the straightest (if that's a word) but swr is OK. Today and part of tomorrow but tomorrow night the whole antenna system comes down.

So I sure hope to catch some of you wwdx gents on the air this weekend. The band is wide open today. Will be standing by

I heard you in there 828, I had to tip my antenna down because of the wind so I cant get out. Did you hear the Belarus station?

I have the antenna on plastic saw horses. The SWR is still low at 500w, I am going to see if any worms are coming out of the ground....

He was running a CQ recording and getting back to people that could jump in there. His repeat cycle only left a 3 second gap, he was talking more than listening.

Now I hear Australia....

Putting a little heat in the ground are you, don't fool those ground hogs!

My mast is scoped all the way down for winds also but performance is still ok. I hear some distant unintelligible voices so maybe he's in there somewhere.

I usually get the west coast and Australia durian the evening hours, will be listening though.

Ah.. OK, that makes sense now.

Gents, I've got work to do so I'll check back in here this evening. In the meantime I'll be occasionally listening on the receiver so don't be shy.

Happy dx everyone

I will be out in the garage this afternoon, the short Starduster does very well with the wind. I never have to worry about it.

Switched out antennas yesterday from the 4' firestik to an old k40 4' fiberglass I had sitting in the garage. After tunning it, 1.0 on 20 and 1.3 on 40, higher on the uppers but useable. Conditions were good as I made contact with a station in NC from the driveway. Think I will use it for awhile till I get bored and put the sirio back on.

I have a direct line to California right now, like fish in a barrel! Lots of good sounding stations for sure!

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

Channel 36, this is wild!

Now talking to Texas as we work stations in California!

 

[ForestRunner98]

Just had a good contact with Jamaica (man in the blue water) on 36lsb!!!

 

[techradioman]

Talked to Guatemala on 27.515 today, 2 different stations nice and loud and clear here.
