The bands, even 17 meters, were perfectly adequate for the Montenegro (4O3/YU6) and Swains Island (KH8S) operations and I've been working Europe, including YU6AO, routinely on 30 meters with a Force 12 vertical dipole. I think that the perception that the bands are in bad shape feeds on itself and becomes a self full filing prophecy. Get on and listen! If all else fails call CQ.
