so im not sure if its just me but 20m has been all over the place the last few days. worked a couple of stations in europe yesterday morning which was nice but then by like 11am it just died completely. tried 17 and 15 for a while but nothing really stuck. been doing this long enough to know the bands do what they want but something just feels off lately, maybe solar flux is doing something weird idk. anyway just curious if others are noticing the same or if its something on my end

yeah 20 has been rough here too, im in the midwest and i could barely hear anything past like 1500 miles yesterday. did manage a quick qso with a station in texas but thats about it. checked propagation tools and the K index was elevated so that probably explains some of it

honestly i gave up on 20 like two weeks ago and have just been hanging out on 40 in the evenings. way more reliable for me even if its mostly ragchewing with the same guys lol. 20 always makes me feel like im doing something wrong when really its just the band being a jerk
