I remember (don't all of us old folks) about 20 years ago
when the skip on 75 was much like the current one. Nothing
between 100 to 600 miles or very weak and stations out
beyond that were strong as garlic breath.
This is really not that uncommon. It follows the 11 year
cycle and the 22 year cycle as does the upper bands. With
few sunspots to upset the atmosphere that giant mirror in
the sky is really working. What puzzles me more than 75 is
160. It is not near as good as I expected.

For the last few months, we've lost the choice of short
skip on 75
at night.
160 is difficult for a lot of folks, antenna wise. So...
No more
talking
to your buddies within a couple hundred miles late in the
evening or
night.
