11 meter is very quiet?
- Thread starter Tweetybird
- Start date
In the early afternoon here on the East Coast right now. I have just talked to a couple of operators from England, and I don't hear anyone from the US. Hoping a line to the West Coast will open up soon.
Don't feel alone it's like that on the other side of the continent also this morning, no action. I took a ride late morning up and down the hills and only found minimum activity. Almost like a preview to summer change but I hope not because we all have been spoiled. LOL
I haven't been on the radio too much this week due to work and getting over a viral infection+ my 86 yr old Dad has been battling a really bad cold,etc .......as I remember correctly (I could be wrong however) this happened last spring and summer where the radio activity on 11meters really died off and didn't really return back to full strength if I may use the word until the early to late fall months, etc....i know that there has also been some solar storms flaring up also ..........
It was quiet this morning, even 27.025 had very little activity out here.
It'll settle down in a few days, we have a few more years before the band really goes dead.

Just ahead of 7 PM was upstairs next to radio room to close window drapes to conserve heat overnight so turned on the old Cobra 2000 and low & behold here was Saskatchewan Canada bombing in like out in my driveway. I heard them yesterday with my Grandson as I was showing him the process of DX. That's different for that area 2 days in a row. I remember banging into there with my GE SuperBase one time shortly after I got it.
Some faint voices out there but nothing to work here either. I haven't had turd conditions in quite a while.
Good Morning all, well I'm going to try to get on the air around noon time today on 35 USB Sunday WWDX Net today, and hopefully the conditions will cooperate, however I hear that a G3 solar storm is expected to hit during the day today so of course conditions could go down hill,we shall see..............

I was on the radio for an hour before lunch and then for another hour around 4:00. Conditions were generally pretty good for me. I made contact with guys I haven't heard in quite some time. I also made the trip to London and had a good qso.
So yeah, a pretty good day.
So yeah, a pretty good day.
I spent some time mainly listening while working in the garage and conditions were pretty good in these parts. I did have a few chances to call cq and made a handful of contacts so not too shabby.
you got that rite. yesterday i mostly had childish crap coming through speaker then 38 lsb a sckraggly aaaauuuudddiiiiooooooo few seconds rinse repeat . i politely shut the S.O.B. off.
then lat nite at our normal ime we got on 27,4850 lsb did local chat n had our ol buddy the tow truck operator come on from northern california n couple others
last nite we had trouble on 27.4850 lsb. our southern neighbors were on usb killing us. at 9 they took a break. then in far distance we hear others talking,to far to make them out. as it is thats just part of radioing
Had to take a little trip yesterday to get a motorcycle oil filter and neither the mobile or the base was very shining so just left them off and was " Taking care of business "
- No one is chatting at the moment.

@ Geoexplorer69:Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
