11 meter is very quiet?

An interesting side to the open connection on my amp. That connection hooks ground to the SSB circuit and also to the driver transistor. With a poor solder the amp wasn't putting out full power. 750W on HI before. Now 850-900. Really brought the amp to life

Got my rig back on the air tonight. None to terrible conditions at 7pm tonight. Then I heard Mark 4D29 Savannah Ga. , and we had a good 10 minute QSO. Good to finally get back on the air. I was beginning to have withdrawals. Now if only conditions will improve here.

I squeezed out Iowa on the way home from a VA appointment today, but again the channels were filled with buzz so I know my radio is just small potatoes compared to some of them. Maybe eventually I'll get time to hook up my KL-300 P for hopefully a little more Juice. What do the Pros in here think of the comparison between 200P & 300P, is it worth the Bother?

This evening the band was wide open here and I worked the upper side of 11 meters for for a couple of hours solid. As @Brother DXer says, my hand was cramping from keying down so much !

I had the chance to get that q6 pro hot enough to fry bacon and it just kept on going.

We'll call it a very successful evening in the world of dx

What freq is everyone sitting on? I'm bouncing around 35 thru 40, and .400, .415, .420, .425. Never hear you guys.

I sort of hang-out on 28 AM, but I think it's time to move onto the uppers and sideband frequencies because it seem as though more and more toy noisemakers are coming out of the woodwork.

We have Texas in the receiver this evening. I can hear someone calling Australia. But my luck would have it that they can't hear me....... I will keep trying....

I called cq a while ago and got a bunch of trash talkers littering the channel with childish slander.

I'll go try again and see if now there are intelligent folks on.

About the opposite around here. Heard some traffic but nothing like the last 2-3 days. But was playing catch up from playing Doctor visits the last 3 days and now back to fall prep work. Keeps me out of mischief and makes Jack a Dull Boy.

I've had a good day of dx myself. The shack has been on all day long and conditions from everywhere from coast to coast. Several contacts made during my radio breaks.

 

[Brother DXer]

Work has deprived me of radio most of the month. My last contact was Oct 3rd. I've made several contacts over the past hour, and still working 'em. Most are from the NE, Canada and Northern Cali.

Also made contact with @Shadetree Mechanic but there were too many stations booming into my radio to get in a qso.

Edit: 555 USB is great at the moment. 18:25 Central..

 

[Greg T]

Had some good DXing today. South and west booming in strong.

Was starting to think you said heck with it and hung it up.

No dx at my location again today. I guess things have shifted further North this time of year. I'll keep monitoring but I don't expect much will be happening for a while don't forget me.
