A propagation path (or lack thereof) can be highly localized at this
point in the cycle. Although I have heard them at times (always working
Europe or Japan when they can be heard here) thus far they have not
moved my "S" meter.
The "numbers" (propagation) have been quite poor, but more or less
normal at this point in the cycle. I use three different propagation
programs, 2 of which take into consideration station technical
characteristics. None of them offer more than a very narrow window of
opportunity to work them from this immediate area.
For reference: The primary station here is an Icom 756 ProIII; 5 element
monoband at 90 feet. The secondary station is an Icom 756 ProII with a
Telrex TB6EM at 85 feet fixed on 315 degrees. i am in EM20ih.
Good hunting!

I'm surprised that they couldn't be heard in NJ, just a few miles east
of my QTH. Must be something wrong with the antenna or the feedline.
Or maybe an arrogant, ill-mannered attitude blocks the ears (as well
as the head).
