[Boatanchors] The Silence of the Bands.

[David Stinson]

Not so long ago, tuning from 3500-3550 at night and 7000-7100

any non-contest time, one would have heard many CW QSOs.

The last several times I've listened, it's one or two.  Or none.

Tuning from 7000-7100 in the evening and hearing a completely

empty band is eerie and sad.  Are we old CW ops dropping 

that fast?  Or is it just band conditions at my QTH- 3 months worth 

of "band conditions?"
