Yep.  :D

The last few days I've switched on the DX-394 just to hear what's happening on 20 meters during the late afternoons. Static, basically. Maybe a couple weak CW QSO's and one or two SSB QSO's, buried in the static. Yikes.

Just a few months ago there were plenty of signals during the same time period on that band.

Just before 1700z, I see about a 20 QSOs on all of 20 meters, half a dozen or so of which are "strong".
15 meters is completely dead.
Some activity on 11m
WWV on 10, 15, 20, and 25 MHz

5 or 6 QSOs on 40 meters.

1 QSO on 75 meters  ;D
