Talk about dead bands, every time I turn on the radio in hopes of working some dx, nothing on but band noise.. Totally dead bands, a few signals, but not much skip in any direction. Well, as another note, hope old Santa brought you radio goodies and at least even with dead bands you can give your new item a trial run.
I have two stations notable to report.
S01WS 7.024 0730Z.
T8CW 21.045 0040Z. this operation has been off and on and off more then on, but again bands are horrid.
