11 meter is very quiet?

Talk about a surprise !! Talked with a couple of stations out of Pennsylvania, and #1 out of Ontario, and who do I hear calling me . . . WDX226 Rod, West Texas. San Angelo TX to be exact. Another nice long QSO with his loud clean station. We talked for quite a while, and no one keyed up until we signed off. Thank you everyone for that. Always love these 2280 mile connections. Looking forward to the next time. Take care, Mi Amigo.

Yes Sir, definitely a nice surprise. Especially the second time! :ROFLMAO:

I went to the radio room and all I could hear was low, smooth static. Not a soul to be heard... I didn't bother to turn it off, I just let it run. I picked up my tablet to do some reading. This is when I here you calling CQ again. Thank you sir, for another fine qso.
73's my friend

I noticed the conditions crowded and quiet as well. I hear JJ in there, I think I got a quick contact last week with him, but nothing that held up. Been getting some Arkansas stations. Seems a lot of station were making their own conditions as I heard some stating 1k behind them. Not too good for us barefoot guys.

My conditions are in and out. One second I have CA then it's NY then Australia. Nothing stable. Wondering why the hams are on 27.380 endlessly complaining about CBers and their "crap strikers and cobras" while bragging about their "IQ" and their "kenwoods and Icoms" why the hell you down here splitting freq in 11m whining? You have such big brains and capability to be anywhere but intentionally here trying to troll people on 11m. Me thinks their IQ isn't quite what they claim it is.

Conditions are OK but not fantastic up here today, which is fine 'cause I've been working all morning anyways LOL. May try and get on the air shortly and see who's around.

Is that how the guy in Qatar spells his name? I got piled on by a bunch of Middle East stations before we finished our QSO. He was still the loudest with the best signal.

I did ask him how he pronounced Qatar because on the news some say Kutter, and others say Ktar. He said Ktar was how it is pronounced.

Good Grief! Somebody named "Brown Horn" down on 6 is wiping out the ENTIRE spectrum from 26,4 to above 27.6 MHz right now !! That's the entire CB spectrum and most of the freeband as well. almost 5 s units of splatter on 415 right now !
Unacceptable,

They were at that earlier today. With the 710 I can SEE it vs just hear it across the spectrum I thought I'd jacked a setting up but no. They really are literally splattering the whole band.

Go figure.... their whole philosophy is "if you don't splatter, you don't matter"

A few days ago I kept hearing a guy on 38 lsb keep repeating CQ Contest, CQ Contest. What is that BS all about ? Nothing like Cluttering a popular channel and preventing others for making contacts.
