11 meter is very quiet?

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?

I'm wondering the same thing as you. Hard to adjust a radio and test it because you don't know when it will be there. Was working in the garage today so turned on my GE Superbase to listen in and had some DX rolling and it brought a question to mind. Does anybody know who Needle Bender 0737 from South Carolina is because he must have some good equipment because he is always dominating the air waves around this area and talking?

Dx seem to be rolling a little better today.

 

[Brother DXer]

Not here. I hear a little, but it's very distant.

 

[Eldorado828]

Not great here but it's gone in and out throughout the day. Just a waiting game.

A couple of operators that I have not heard in a long, long time are "Eddie Spaghetti" from the east coast I think and "The Captian" from the islands around the Caribbean. Anyone heard them?

And "Soul Man" was another one, then I heard him the other day. Can't possibly miss his operating style.

Never heard them in my part of the world.

Just had a line of storms pass throughout and as soon as lightnings is far away everyone will be back online.

Will be standing by.

Haven't heard from Eddie Spaghetti since cycle 24.

Conditions just aren't that great as many of you are experiencing.
Here's a little forecast

 

[Brother DXer]

Ugh.....

 

[whiteastro]

Conditions have are being spotty and not as good as the winter time but it is still better than a year ago or a 1.5 year ago. Just can't wait to hit the peak. Hope my systems are ready at that time !

It seems I have a pipeline to Illinois today. We shall see how long it holds out.

EDIT.. I made a ton of contacts in Illinois, a few in Indiana, one in Georgia and one in Montana. But around 12:15 conditions started fading and by 12:30 they were gone..
I did have Fun while it lasted! Got my fix.. Haha

Called out and a local (30 miles) responded. Said radio was working but no conditions for us. Oh well…the radio still works.

 

[whiteastro]

Conditions have been crazy spotty today turning on and off and back on today. Rather insane.

 

[Eldorado828]

Not a peep on the band in my part of the world..... Nothing!

Currently very light dx conditions here at the NY/NJ metro area. I did make a contact with 311 Alabama from my mobile a few minutes ago.
