I am not having propagation problems. I have been making 20 or 30 CW contacts on 20 meters from NC to Europe every day using 5 watts. Except for yesterday, 9/30/19, I only made 9 contacts on 20 meters. None were European, two were South American, one Canadian, The rest were Colorado, Oregon, Washington State, Texas, and Arizona. Today, Oct. 1 may be a good time to try 6M and 10M. But first, gotta get my flu shot. Everyone, please remember to get your flu shot. John
