Yes, the propagation sucks but RBN shows my 5W QRP signal all over the US but nobody is answering. However when I reply to CQ I make a contact. So my signal must be going through. Is it really the propagation or nobody bother to switch their radios on? And if the propagation is the only problem why is it that when there is a contest suddenly you can't find a frequency that is not used? I do mostly CW but also SSB. 73 to all and hope to catch you on the bands.
can be a minimum of Maunder (1640-1715) ? what would be more serious is a drop in temperatures. this would pose serious problems. we will do QSOs on the Relays.
I see the same kind of thing. I think that many hamateurs aren't bothering to turn on their radios because they hear that the radio wave propagation is poor.
