so i was just sitting here after dinner kind of bored and spun the dial around on 40m for a bit and its actually been pretty lively lately, picked up a couple guys chatting about their antennas and ended up listening for like an hour without even meaning to. dont know why but there's something about just passively listening that i forget i enjoy until i actually do it again. anyway not really a question just figured id see if anyone else has been noticing more activity lately or if im just getting lucky with timing

yeah 40m has been decent, i usually check in around 7.200 and there's almost always something going on. honestly its my go-to band when im not trying to do anything serious just want some background noise while im tinkering in the shack

i does the same thing all the time lol, just spin around and end up down a rabbit hole. last week i stumbled onto some net i had never heard of before and just lurked for like 45 minutes. 40m at night is underrated imo especially when the conditions are halfway decent
