Hi, But 12m shouldn't be completely dead. Even at this late hour there is a fair bit of CW activity on 12m heard on my K3 with a G5RV antenna (which is actually close to resonance on 12m). I hear some weak SSB signals in the phone sections. Right now wh7w is calling CQ on 24893 without any takers. Well, now he seems to have given up..
