11 meter is very quiet?

[Shadetree Mechanic]

I heard and talked to a ton of east coast today. Hope I can catch you guys at some point. Soon as my base pills get here and I can do the swap, I probably need the extra punch! Lot of loud radios over your way.

Yes, it would be great to talk, I will be listening for you.

We will give it a go for sure though I just go by 4-2-9 Central Texas for skip purposes.

It's up to all of you guys where you want to make contacts
I will agree that with this amount of propagation, 35-40 is a train wreck with goofballs, it like this every cycle.
If someone suggest's free band frequencies there is going to be pushback from some because technically it's out of band.
Ch 16 , I have tried several times, did manage to make some contacts, but it is a challenge to work through the AM traffic there.
Then there is the .00's ( 5 kc down) in between the standard 35- 40 , again technically not allowed....
For the members that have access to ten meters there is a whole bunch of frequency real estate up there on several different modes, but not everyone has a ticket.
Do you guys want a poll or?
Maybe @binrat has a idea?
There have been CDX(WDX) events in the past.
It helps when there is a specific date-time so everyone knows when to try like weekends.

Not sure how quiet it was today, not much time for radio and had to mow when I got home.... Maybe tomorrow!

Yeah I have a younger neighbor across the street that is foaming at the mouth because he wants my property so I don't dare turn my amp on if he is home for fear he's waiting to cause some trouble. His parents live across the street also and they complain about everybody also and want my property also. ( Busy Bodies ) I limit my Amp uses to in my mobile. Can't wait to finish my work on this house and sell it and get out of this little 1 horse town. LOL

Talked to a bunch of NY and NJ stations 37-39 lower and 99 Jamaica for a minute. Need my 4 pill back in line...

Fellas, I'm, not sure I'll ever be back on our regular 11m after being told about 27.555 USB. The contacts are amazing and I've yet to hear a 11111 or music playing on it. I'm pretty sure I hit "radio Toyko" I called CQ with my numbers and he responded, I heard the 144 but not Alabama so I'm not claiming that one.

That's strange. Every time I check out "Triple Nickle" I hear nothing at all.....like it's abandoned. Years ago it was off the chain now I get nothing. I guess I will keep trying! I am experiencing FOMO!
