Yes, I had the same conditions I had last night, but a little earlier. I did have a quick qso with 830 in Delaware, then I thought I might get to make contact with you, but it faded pretty quick.

Conditions have not been the greatest here this week. A few contacts a day but it's been rough. It might be that time of the year where it starts dropping out on us I'm afraid.
In the meantime I'm going to try the @Brother DXer 1700-1900 cst time slot and see how that works.

alas last nite went to 38 lsb just before shutdown. hawaii was on 177 seems like didnt write him down but we both had great signal. was about 9 15 pm
Another rainy day so spent some time in the radio room and DX was not good but heard some faint activity so thought I would try several of my radios for the heck of it. Got a comeback from a faint radio and the report wasn't good but I expected that with conditions the way they were. Didn't even try to find out where he was from. So I took a 3 hr nap. Better days are coming. ( I Hope )
Hey that 3 hour nap is enough to celebrate alone! I wish I could make enough time in a day just to sit down and relax for more than a couple minutes.
Dx on the commute home was extremely noisy, but still managed to make several east coast contacts. Delaware, North Carolina, Pennsylvania just to name a few. Every time I hear Delaware I listen for @Shadetree Mechanic but never catch him. I finished a qso with a N.C. station then heard him talking to @Brother DXer right after so that was cool.
Take what we can get boys, beggars can't be choosers!
LOL Believe me a 3 hour nap in the day is not my style, it comes with age and lousy weather. I'm so ready to get outside and kick some butt on my projects. Having patience is killing me ! LOL
The Pacific and Australia have been doing real well here in Kentucky in the evenings here. Lots of stations worked this week. Looks like Europe has died out for the spring and summer.
Yeah turn the radio on and got hit the first line I cast out I got 605 up in Oregon in a mobile.
The conditions here in Missouri didn't really seem that good but I guess we're getting out there.
Sitting here watching some of the Preppers on YouTube, not sounding to positive.

Depends on the conditions. I have contacts with 20 watts on good days. Some days you have to increase your odds by 100 percent lol
Agreed. On a good day I talk to my locals within a 50 mile radius on ssb with 20 watts and also skip 600 miles away. On a bad day I've had to run 180 watts just to be heard 30 miles away.
Not too much going on today on 11 meters in my part of the world. I made a few contacts this afternoon, mostly in the north east.
Hopefully it gets better this weekend.
@unit_399 JJ, Do you have plans to be on? I sure would like to give Columbia a shot again.

There is skip all day long everyday here on the west coast of Canada too.
Right now we're right at the peak of the sunspot cycle, so there is skip all day every day pretty much everywhere, and it will be like that for another two or three years before the cycle starts to die out. Five years from now the band will be pretty dead except for a bit of seasonal E skip.
There will always be the odd day or two here and there where skip dies due to solar flares or whatever, but otherwise it's just a matter of how much skip and which direction it's going......
