Generally band condx vy good at present from LF
to HF as far as 24 Mcs. Modes mostly CW and SSB world wide, some strong USA
stns.
What is noticeable is the lack of Amtor, Pactor
and packet transmissions but RTTY seems to have survived over the
years.
Observations indicate that data mode acty does
not last long, the novelty wares off, whereas the traditional modes CW, SSB
and RTTY are still going strong.
Some will argue that cw and rtty are data but I
am referring to the fly by night data modes Amtor, pactor, packet and all
the JT, wspr etc, tuning across the bands today I did not hear any of these
modes.
Obviously the majority of ham operators are not
interested. It would appear MF attracts the Appliance Operator, and the
8.7739872 Kcs Dreamers!!
If you fancy your chances on VLF below 9 Kcs I
will listen out. I have a suitable RX and antenna.
Your observations ?
