so ive been sitting on 40m most evenings this week and its just dead. like not even the usual chatter around 7.200 or wherever. dunno if its propagation or just people giving up or what but it feels different than even a few months ago. maybe everyone moved to ft8 and i just missed the memo lol. not complaining exactly just curious if its the same where you guys are or if im just unlucky with timing

yeah 40 has been rough lately, i noticed it too. honestly i think a lot of guys just default to digital modes now and voice just kinda sits empty. i still prefer ssb but its getting harder to find a decent ragchew without hunting around forever. tried 7.255 last tuesday around 8pm local and had one brief contact then nothing. solar flux hasnt been helping either i think

lol yeah ft8 ate everyone. thats the memo you missed haha. i still get on voice sometimes but honestly ft8 is just easier when im tired after work and still wanna log a few contacts
