sure so have I barefoot but its nothing compared to what it should be.What are you talking about?
I run 150 watts into a delta loop and there hasn't been a day where I didn't talk to somebody somewhere in months.
Granted, conditions are terrible at times, and not what they should be, but there IS skip out there.
In the last week I've spoken to several western states, Saskatchewan and Alberta multiple times, Florida and Jamaica a couple days ago, and Hawaii and Australia on several evenings.
That's a long way from no conditions !
skip for 15mins then nothing all day for the most part. 1 guy in Hawaii is what I hear and the weakie in Jamacia. Having lived through 4 cycles going on my 5th, this is complete garbage. even last summer was better than this. who knows, maybe its because 80% of the operators are all dead. that dont help
