When time was finally giving for some dx, the storms rolled in and killed that idea. We'll see what this week brings in.

11 meter is very quiet?

This weekend of radio wasn't a total bust for me. I did make a few contacts on LSB 16, which was a very nice surprise, and a few on the uppers. But as it happens, my goal turned out to be how many days in a row 200 (Ray) in Australia, and myself, could QSO. And it turns out, that was 3 days in a row. We thought about trying for more but he had been sick for a few weeks, and missing work (winter down there) and had to get back Monday. The first contact was made using the RM503 HD and Galaxy 2547, and the last two were with the Stryker 955.
Much like @AmericanEagle575 . Conditions for us here in west Texas seem to be slowly returning.

First time in weeks I get on….contact with 25 on the Florida gulf coast snd 401 in Orlando….Florida making the trip. Besides them….it’s dead quiet.
Talked to Larry, 178 a couple times today, and just as I was signing off New Zealand was calling!
It is a little noisy but the band is open.

Yeah a little activity here today and did make my first ever Wisconsin contact today with my President II+ so looks like my Golden Screwdriver is starting to pay off but I won't hold my breath until it is consistent ! LOL
An outstanding qso day so far here in the panhandle of Texas. It started with some unusual short skip qso to Tyler Tx, Dallas Tx, Tulsa Oklahoma and Springfield Missouri before it turned around to Unit 1 Jamaica, 311 Alabama, Arizona, California with every single contact clear as day. Now using the CRT 7900V and she's working well.
This has been a much needed DX fix!
Hope to catch some of you gents on the air while mother nature works with us.

I’m operating mobile on 27.385 LSB. I hear a 401 and 323 out there but conditions are rough.
Was a good DX day no doubt, then severe weather moved in with tornado warnings and such. Little town just northeast of me got destroyed by a Nader Thursday night so all equipped is unhooked now with attention to the weather radar.
Hope I wasn't the only one here with good conditions today.

That's how it gets started, then you get hooked on DX and find yourself getting up early to work that contest on the weekends.
His backlight is modulating with his audio lol.

Had a little over an hour driving time to play on 38 LSB today. I could hear "Number 1 Equalizer" out of Trinidad and couple of Australian stations. US stations were scattered but seemed to be south and east of me, mostly FL and TX. Signals were in and out the entire time. Called CQDX several times using my "WDX-86" call, no contacts made although I thought I head one station try to come back to me.
Went up into northwestern Kansas and back today, ch 19 skip was in and out. Got home, kicked on the power supply and nothing but static on .385 lsb.
What happened to those fantastic conditions we had from October to early March...... where'd they go?
