Why does the reception in Utah suck so bad?
 
Being originally from Boston I sure miss the reception I once had. If this keeps up I will have to sell my highly coveted collection of SWL radios which I would hate to do.

When I lived in Ogden, UT, I got great reception. Much more Asian DX
than I hear now, living in KY.

Have you tried working with your antennas? How about a nice wet ground?

Are nearby high mountains blocking the signals?

I tried to post this yesterday but some how it didn't go.

Check and work with your antennas change direction, check you ground for
radio and antenna.

I am surrounded by canyon ridges on 3 sides, reception of HF is not
materially affected.
