Propgtn Things looking good on 10/11m bands

Lots of activity from the USofA CB band although most of it is unintelligable due to all talking at once. US Ch11/27.085MHz most active at 1600local NZ/ 0300UTC mainly AM but the occasional LSB - Winradio G33DDC from a 30metre loop and a 20dB amplifier up at the top - I needed a 12dB attenuator but still peaking at S9+, noise level -110dBm. Pity the users don't say where they are - seem to be mostly truckers, language would make a sailor blush! Oops, someone just said he was in Southern California!

The ionosphere must be heating up with all those CB radios and amplifiers.

^^^^^ Some of those guys on the AM side of the CB band seem to make their own propagation.

I've worked Japan and South Korea on 12 meters and 10 meters multiple times in the last week or so. Things are getting good!
