i dont know man, been licensed almost 4 years now and lately i just havent had the urge to key up. used to spend every evening on 40m ragchewing with the local guys but the past few weeks i just turn the radio on, scan around a bit, and turn it off again. not sure if im burned out or what. maybe the bands have just been weird lately with all the solar flux stuff going on. anyone else go through phases like this? i feel kinda guilty about it like im wasting the license or something lol

yeah happens to me every winter honestly. i go weeks without touching anything and then suddenly im up til midnight working dx on 20m like nothing happened. dont sweat it, the hobby will pull you back. maybe try something different when you do get the itch again, i picked up JS8Call last year during one of those slumps and it kinda reinvented things for me for a while.

same tbh. i think its just life stuff getting in the way more than actual burnout. also the bands have genuinely been kinda garbage on and off this season so its not all in your head
