11 meter is very quiet?

[Eldorado828]

Well gentlemen, the base is a work in progress but I'll be ssb mobile in the meantime. I have an hour commute to work and an hour home every day so I'll be standing by.

I should have a sirio megawatt 4000 delivered in a few days to replace the laird nmo so that should help the situation.
I'm back on the air! Kind of.

What times and time zones ?? So I'll know when to listen. Also what channel. I'm on EST and usually use 36 or 37. Listen for 828 ??

Ok, morning 6:30-7:30 cst evening will vary between 4 to 9 cst, I go home when I make it in. As far a frequency, I'll be watching you all to follow along but I hang out between 36-40 11 meters. If you fellas are higher up then I'll travel up that way. WDX-828 Texas in the mobile.

Malawi 226SD/O active split 609/614 USB. He was 5/7 into western NC. Short but sweet contact.

Wow conditions are great with many qso's this evening on the way home. The quad 6 performed great, better than I'd expected mobile. Reports were audio is excellent, clear and was hitting them with a strong signal, Lot's of compliments from Operator Danny 011 in Cleveland Ohio, he couldn't believe it was a barefoot stock mobile said he thought it was an hf rig! Haha I'll take it!

I'm happy as a tornado in a trailer park, glad to be back on the air.

Now I don't know if I really want to swap the nmo-27 out with the sirio....

I haven't been on my mud duck station lately. Did y'all give up the 16 LSB and move up a few channels?

Like yesterday, not much for conditions on the dark morning commute 6-7 am cst. We'll see what this evening brings, probably good judging by the channel 19 skip that's starting boom into the big rigs Stryker.

You wwdx fam have a blessed day!

 

[S&W357]

You have a blessed and safe day as well! Last night 11 was so quiet. No noise. Enjoyed talking to the local homeboys on 27.355 AM.

11 meter DX was starting to quietly roll into central NC this morning about 8:00. Talked to couple guys on 2 meters and couple contacts on 10 meters. I’ll be trying 11m again soon

2NC556 aka WDX556

 

[snippits75]

The Gambia activation now 118AT/0 27.590 USB. He was 5/7 into western NC. Good DX!

 

[Eldorado828]

Conditions are mediocre but I'll be on the top side of 11 meters. Lot's of noise to punch through today.

 

[Eldorado828]

Not bad for an hours drive of dx. Conditions not as good as yesterday but still worked a handful of stations.

I need a robot to keep a log for me though.

Was the noise level up for anyone else on the radio today? Was especially noisy in this part of the world.

 

[BC Coyote]

Noticed a little more background noise than usual here too.... Not enough to really impact reception though. There have been several solar flares lately, so it may be down to that. I also hear a lot of splatter drifting up from the regular 40 into the freeband.
Conditions generally have been amazing.........I finally bagged Thailand this week after it eluded me for years! Lots of other great contacts recently too !
Fun times on the radio .

 

[whiteastro]

I didn't find conditions the best yesterday. I hope they don't get worse in the northern hemisphere as spring starts to arrive even though I'm getting excited about the temps starting to rise. Getting tired of tending 2 coal stoves.

 

[unit_399]

Conditions here have been in and out. One minute a station will put my meter in the red, and the next minute it's hardly moving it off the peg. Been this way for three days now. Must be the same on the other end too, as operators say I'm booming in, but then say they can hardly hear me. I guess Mother Nature wakes up for a minute and then falls back to sleep.
