11m waking up?

[ChrisSmolinski]

Still no UK CBers or Irish church stations, but I am hearing europeans on SSB on 11m.

1448: Now hearing UK CBers on 27761 and 27781.

[R4002]

Hearing Irish and English (26CT115 requesting QSY to 27405) stations on 27385 LSB as well as 27395 LSB.  

Other logs (1450-1505 UTC).  Receiving equipment is: Galaxy DX959 with indoor dipole (random wire is antenna #2)

26585 AM - very busy, constant S7-S9 signal heterodyne, music, roger beeps, feedback, very messy
26625 AM - "Hola Hola Hola Hola Hola!"
26775 AM - Southern US accents
27385 LSB - very busy (US and Western European stations)
27405 LSB - South Carolina station working UK
27415 AM - SS taxicab dispatch (with roger beeps!)
27455 USB - Latin America calling frequency active, heavy QSB
27505 USB - SS operators, one is down in the noise, the other a solid S9 +20.  
27555 USB - Hearing stations down in the noise, roger beeps, somebody calling CQ DX but they faded away before I heard an ID
27705 USB - SS operators, very loud (all over S9 on both antennas)

1507 UTC: Swapped out the Galaxy with the Voyager VR9000 (better known as the Superstar 3900F), backup radio is IC707.  Did this because the Voyager has FM.

26585 AM - More of the same.  Even noiser on the Voyager (this is to be expected with the radio in question)
26915 AM - "Mister Shoeshine is back quiet"
26955 AM - very strong carrier somebody keyed down for a second and didn't say anything (was S9 +40db!!!)
27405 LSB - 26CT115 (or maybe 26CT1115) working Kentucky station, heavy QRM
27470 USB - SS traffic, nice audio and strong signals
27555 USB - "all the best boys good morning" (British accent)
27590 USB - British accent "I'd lose my mind and I don't want to do that"
27601 FM - Heard UK CB traffic, but was then obliterated by 27605 LSB
27605 LSB - SS traffic, strong
27620 USB - Caught the tail end of an ID "Charlie Alpha"
27635 USB - polytones, stations down in the noise, weak AM carrier whine
27665 USB - "Buenas tardes" "Saludos a la frecuencia!" - active with roger beeps
27700 USB - weak SSTV (!!!!)
27775 AM - EE traffic, US accents
