I wouldn't be overly concerned yet.  The bands have been highly variable
of late.  Conditions have frequently been very poor.  Not only have
signals been weak to non-existent, the background noise has also almost
disappeared on such occasions.  I would check it out late at night, say
after 10 PM.  I've noticed that propagation, if there is any, generally
improves by then.  In fact, last night, there was quite a bit of DX on
both 20 and 40 meters.  So it is a day to day situation.

I found my radio had an over-active AGC which was smothering
signals. When I learned how to turn AGC off the receiver came to life!
I then adjusted the AGC so that turning it on did not cause a
decrease in weak signal volume.

Thanks all!  I am open to further sugestions also!
