11 meter is very quiet?

In my AM world with the Imax 2000 @ 44ft up, I haven't heard a dang thing for weeks. Not even local stuff. Still waiting patiently.
Speaking of IMAX, I had just about given up on mine and was thinking of taking it down and just using dipole and the Beams, but yesterday it came alive, only serious contacts were with the IMAX,just conditions I suppose. 73's

There was much less skip rolling yesterday. Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Martinica were coming in. One T & T station was carrying on a rather lengthy conversation with a Columbus, GA station making it difficult for others to get through. As skip starts coming back, maybe this is a good time to ask folks to QSY to another SSB frequency if they want to carry on a conversation.

I agree. Yesterday, here in South Texas, couldn't get word in. Get response to CQ and others stepped awl ova. Bad manners. Mike in Phoenix was being jerk weed. Went outside and played with dogs. "

Seems the sound of silence was the only friend I had".

I keep listening for you, ENC, but all I have heard is NY and nothing else. It's been pretty lax the last few days.
