[AMRadio] CW-where is everybody?

[Rsauvan]

This is a real bummer. I have been cqing on 20 meters for an hour and 
have only worked 2 guys in the Classic Exchange. Reverse beacon shows Im 
20-24 db but out west of course because Im located in Colorado. All of 
my contacts have been WA, OR, TX, CA and of the contacts that I have 
worked it amounts to only 5 stations. The boat anchors are getting a 
good workout and everything is working great. I guess Im assured of that.
