11 meter is very quiet?

It's noisy here, I am running the attenuator to cut some of the noise. I hear stations talking but they are right at my background level.

Glad some of you are having luck! Tried calling several times on 35USB at 10PST. No luck. Several conversations going on in AM mode, including two guys at S8. I switched to AM and asked where they were (New Jersey) and if they'd heard any sideband on the channel (no). Checked 16LSB but it's totally wiped out by splatter from 6, 11, and 17. I will make another attempt at 11PST on 35USB.
I am amused that I can talk to some guy in NJ on AM but can't reach any forum members on sideband !

Never give up lol!
The band is unstable and bouncing around, just have to keep working it.

If you decide to sell the RM italy for parts, please let me know. Out here in Kansas so if you are close enough shipping shouldnt be too much. Keep me in mind.
Thanks for the qso today on 35USB, my first forum member contact went well all the way into the Pacific West Coast of Canada!
I had spectacular success on 35USB at 11PST!!
Several WWDX stations and several others....
2716 Missouri, 351 West Virginia, 413 Cable Guy in Tennessee, US Marshall from S.Carolina, 454 Hotrod from Pennsylvania, 898 Doffo from Kansas, and 3820 Nevada. All on 120 watts into a horizontal delta loop.
Fantastic meeting all of you ! I'll try again at 12 noon PST on the same channel !

Great contact on 35USB with American Eagle 575 from here on the forum! You were sounding top notch out here my friend !
Also had 171 from upstate New York booming in and had a nice QSO with him as well.

Thank you BC Coyote, really enjoyed the Qso with you my Friend,you were really coming in my receiver pretty clear and strong, have a great rest of your Sunday!!
I tried 35 USB but couldn't connect with anyone. But I did hear a little activity that sounded off in the distance on 35 USB. I'll try it off & on once in awhile. You know they say ( A Man Has To get Lucky Once In Awhile )
Just worked 404 FL keys and 0105 AZ on 35 USB..
Yeah it only make sense seeing the LSB being so cluttered why not work the USB !
I hooked up with member WDX-481 out of Georgia Sunday afternoon. Great souding station. Unfortunately several other stations jumped in on us and that was all I could get.
