11 meter is very quiet?

There wasn't much skip at all today. However, I heard two pockets of it in radio traffic from Latin America.

The first group I heard was on USB 23. This was the first I ever heard any SSB skip on that frequency. These guys had like a chat group going.

The other group I heard was on USB 30, where I actually heard 2 groups. One sounded by the accent to be from Mexico. The second group was speaking with a distinctly Argentinian accent. They definitely were unaware of each other.

Interesting conditions today bringing in the skip from west of me and well south.

The MUF across the south-central US climbed up to around 30 MHz on Saturday 4-4-20. I was monitoring 28.074 MHz (10m FT-8 watering hole) and had everything from the Caribbean down to the tip of Argentina with good signals into my East Texas QTH.

Liberal run is saving lives. I'm lucky to be here during this time.

Worked 195 Div today...Grenada. A fellow named “Anderson”. He’s stuck in the house for the Coronavirus. I was his first contact in several years after setting his radio back up today to cope with the quarantine. Pretty cool, I don’t hear the 195 div very often.

 

[Shadetree Mechanic]

I hear 689 Belize on 39 right now doing a fantastic job working the pileup.
He will graciously take a break to let traffic flow to Jamaica and Caribbean islands. Unfortunately he can't hear me but I keep trying.

Nobody heard me today but one guy in Oklahoma
