11 meter is very quiet?

[Justme]

Running FT-8 yesterday on 10 my 50 watt signal in the Imax 2000 was recieved ( and worked) all EU, was heard in Pakistan and Virginia. by N4RP.
So there are marginal openings, not enough for phone, but digital works.

Absolutely nuthin here for days in my part of the lonestar state....

I’ve been from FTW to FL and up IH-95 & IH-81 to PA to IN and south again down IH-65 to S/E AL the past 2.5-weeks. Start back home today using IH-20.

There’s been a whole lot of nothin (long distance).
Not blank, just nothing much or for very long.

Usually, central TN breaks free awhile, but not this trip.

I'd gladly trade in some of this hurricane activity for some sunspot activity.

There's a station in Trinidad & Tobago that comes in all the time down here. Other than him, it is pretty much quiet.

Dead here in E. TN. Been quite for weeks. I think it's as bad as I've ever heard.

There's always a swap meet Sundays at 2100 on CB Ch 34 up here on the TN/NC Line. Just locals. But I haven't even heard that. I heard something on 3 a few days ago, but couldn't make it out.

Nothing to speak of here in a week or so. Heard Puerto Rico on ch 9 again tonight around 630 pm.

38 LSB is quiet at the moment here at the NY/NJ Metropolitan area.

Quiet here in TX, heard an oil rig out of Mexico briefly this evening but he faded before I could make contact.

 

[Alan Blackmon]

Heard some skip on 19 from truckers in California here in Boise. Nothing local.

 

[S&W357]

Still nothing but the homeboys here

 

[edfiero]

I remember days back in the early 80's during the summer we'd have periods of time with no 'english' speaking skip, but we'd still be able to hear Mexico and South America. (What ever happend to station Tequila 5 in Acapulco??) However the last 2 weeks have been really dead here in PA, with the exception of a few interesting groundwave contacts over 80 miles away.

This might have some effect.
