This arternoon around 1900 utc I was picking up very good propagation on
11 meters in the 26.000's. It was filled with cq calls. Mexico and a
few countries in Westen Europe came in.

But now at 2300 utc the band is dead.

It's normally dead during darkness, so that's normal if you're
anywhere it's evening or night time.
