Skip is very isolated

Some crazy skip tonight. "Prime Minister" aka Sir Mix A Lot and BBI Amps calling back and forth in OKC at 10:45 central time. Big money and big power for sure but Mother Nature is helping.

Several days last week en-route NC to TX, very clear TX on Skip out of Ontario on 11M.

Yuppers, we have had 11m skip booming in no problem, just none on 10m. Hence my point that if the CB is rolling it isn not always a good indication that 10m is.

I'd argue there are more active operators on 11m than 10m. When 11m opens up there's no reason for 10m to not be open either. There just isn't as much activity on the latter.

Good point and I agree…however…When I scan through 10m when 11m is hoping 10m isdead quiet at least here.

My radio has been pretty quiet for skip since 8/12/21. I talked with locals during this time, but no skip activity. Yesterday there was almost no background noise on the band but a strange eerie intermittent quiet RF interference noise across the entire band which would make my RF meter jump up and down. No skip this morning, and the background noise is back to normal. I run a horizonal dipole for my antennae.
