I use www.bandconditions.com as my guide to the condition of the HF bands,
but I am increasingly finding that when the guide say the band are dead if
you put out a call you can get a contact. I know conditions can vary from
minute to minute but I am sure the majority of hams just dont bother to try
calling CQ if the various band condition web sites say that the bands are
closed. A good monitor use to be SW broadcast stations, but now a lot
have...
