[HCDX] Re: Tropical SW Bands Virtually Empty

["John" <pilgrimway@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would agree that the tropical bands are not as active as they were in the late-70s through about 1990 when I was much more active in TB DXing.  Not to say that they are dead but they are much quieter (except for WWCR. WWRB and the like!!!) than they were when I started DXing in 1976.  No real surprise here, as we will continue to see FM radio take over more from SW in the years to come, IMO.
