For four or five straight days when I first got tuned up Hartmut Wolff was able to show some phenomenal captures. Like throwing a switch, the second night of the Aurora-NO more propagation what so ever.
Propagation on 137 as well has suffered.
Hope for the conditions to come back and we should see some good captures from many of you.
