From my qth up here by the U.P. of Michigan border south into North Eastern Wisconsin in the deep woods HF 4724 ect. has been zero copy of EAM"s. Has been for days. Token, Didnt mean to sound arrogent. Apoligies if needed. Take care.
Sometimes, in a text communications, it can be difficult to judge the other persons intent. No problem.
Lets keep in mind that I seldom monitor HF-GCS for its own sake, but I monitor other stuff near there (in frequency) and so often I catch HF-GCS traffic even when I am not looking for it. Call mine a casual, or accidental, observation. I typically do not log them, but I see / hear them and often accidentally record them when grabbing a chunk of spectrum for something else.
There have been EAMs each day for the past several days. Yesterday there was at least 6, maybe 10, the day before there was 5 or 6, the day before that there were many. To the best of my knowledge they were mostly sent on all 4 frequencies, 4724, 8992, 11175, and 15016. I know that some of them, at least, were on 4724, since I specifically saw that frequency used.
I have noticed that propagation, for me here in the Mojave Desert, appears to have been less favorable for 4724 recently. Normally that freq is one I can count on, but recently that has been less good than other frequencies. I am assuming it is propagation, but I suppose it could be a change in the source on 4724.
So it looks to me like there has been plenty of traffic, not heavy, but has been present. If you have not been hearing it I wonder if it is because of propagation, or possibly hardware issues on their end.
