For those wondering if your receivers are functioning OK ...

I suggest you learn about and check the hourly propagation forecasts on WWV.
Learn about the A and K index numbers, too. They'll give you a pretty good
idea of what to expect.

HF band conditions are directly related to sunspot and solar flare activity,
both of which fluctuate at an eleven year rate.

Compromise antennas don't help, either.
