can any body give me a report on how they are finding the conditions on the
HF band....
i am having trouble receiving signals i can only hear very local stations.
i.e stations in the uk and France / Germany.
a couple of weeks ago i was able to turn my AR5000 anytime day or night. and
tune in to 14.275mhz on the 20meter band for station K1MAN the international
amateur radio network. i could receive this station with a radio 5 signal 9+
no problem.
over the last few days i am finding it impossible to receive any station
apart from the very strongest signals from Germany and France...
any help would be great.....

current receiver AR5000A+3
main HF antenna Full sized G5RV run through an ATU.

location : London Heathrow

any advice would be great

Thanks: John

Conditions have been very disturbed during the past week or so but are
slowly returning to normal.
