12/16/17 -- Warning -- the following may not be optimistic. In spite of doing the same thing over and over, the results are the same. I have very poor propagation to both JA and VK / ZL in the mornings now. In contrast to what I have always been told, the band has been getting progressively worse over the years as the sunspot numbers have declined. "Some days it's not even worth chewing through the restraints!"
Signals from Asia were so weak this morning that I could not even hear the Chinese RADAR, even though it was very strong in JA. My few contacts with VK and ZL over the past many weeks have been down 5 to 12 dB (1 to 2 s-units) from what they were a few months ago. They are much weaker that a year ago.
