Jim,
Have not had a rig fired up in a few weeks but friend told me tonight
that 75 m. was in the toilet today.  Almost no signals at all.
However he said the high bands seemed okay.

73

I just tuned from 7.0 to 7.3 and heard only two CW signals one IDed while I was listening and he was a 9 station.  Both were very weak and atmospheric noise is high.
