maybe its just me but 40m feels like a ghost town most evenings now. i used to sit down after dinner, tune around and always find something going on — nets, ragchews, whatever. lately its just a wall of noise or nothing at all. checked my antenna and everything looks fine so its not that. just wondering if other people are noticing the same thing or if im in some weird dead spot

yeah ive had the same feeling honestly. though i think part of it is solar conditions being weird right now, band openings are just unpredictable. i did catch a pretty decent ragchew on 7.245 last thursday around 8pm local but that was the first real activity ive heard in like two weeks. try checking a bit lower in the band, sometimes the action moves around depending on whos on

40m is fine here lol. maybe your preamp is acting up or something. i was on last night for like an hour and a half
