Hi All,

While I am very new to listening for HF beacons, I have not heard a
peep on 14.1MHz for the last five days that I have been monitoring
that frequency. Zilch. Or is the propagation just so bad during the
depths of this poor sunspot cycle that this would be expected for
listeners
on the West Coast of the USA?

Thanks,
