Quebec, Canada 27205 USB (CB 20) 0527 UTC 14 JAN 2025

Heard:
27285 AM  CH28 CB, West Virginia, 0523 UTC
27205 USB CH20 CB, Quebec, Canada, 0527 UTC

Not sure why I'm hearing any of this while the band is dead this time of night other than possibly E-layer aurora or meteor scatter. I'm ruling out meteor scatter because that's normally a blip. NOAA/Ovation showing a decent oval over Canada. MIGHT also explain WV reception? Its 0549 UTC now and I can still hear them talking to each other. WV was working some serious power and I couldn't hear anyone else on that freq. But on 20 I'm hearing what seems to be locals to Quebec talking to each other. I literally heard one of them telling someone out there where they were, which is why I know. Same with WV.

Hearing weak e skip on 10 and 11 meters in Middle Tennessee just after 1 am. I saw the dx map lit up for 6 meters and the FM broadcast band, so I went into the shack to listen myself. Yep, winter e skip. I probably missed the best part of it earlier in the evening, but as of now beacons from NY and VT on 10 are coming in. A few weak CBers on 11m are in, as well.

I did notice that I could hear hifer beacons around 13.565 Mhz that normally disappear during evening hours.
