As the title says.

What's up with 80Mtr lately?

For about a week now the whole 80Mtr band has been as quiet as hell even the static is way way down in the S meter (big fat 0) as well as in volume and I can usually always hear static on 80.

I like listening to the guys on 3.701 when I am going sleep talking about anything from Radio, Antennas, Motor Bikes, Railways I find the guys on that frequency fascinating BUT.

I can't hear diddley squat on 80 for the last week or so well since just after christmas and it's not my radio I have 3 analogues in the bedroom on a homebrew mag loop and I also have an SDR on a long wire round my ceiling and I can't hear anything on any of the radios on 80 apart from a few very distant sounding morse carriers and if I am lucky a few very distant sounding (back of the box) Germans and the Germans usually BOOM in.

What's up with the band

Conditions, sun activity, weather & GCHQ jamming.

All that sort of stuff.
Listening to 1.933 has been bad too.
