Greeting-

Have HF conditions been bad the last couple of days, or have I managed to kill
my antenna?  At the moment I only have one antenna up, but I have been getting
next to nothing on any of the HF ham bands and very little on the SW Broadcast
bands.  

I am getting plenty of Medium Wave reception and I seem to be picking up
truckers on 27 Mhz AM that are about 13 miles away.  I hear them talking about
crossing a particular bridge.  

These two points make me think it is conditions, but I would like to see if
others are seeing the same thing.  I suppose comments from others in North
America would be of most use.
