I think it might be a combination of any or all of the factors that you mentioned. You seem to be using good quality equipment for sure. There are times when there have been solar storms and the band is just a loud buzz so even locals sound horrible. I recall seeing a map once that showed the best and worst places as far as ground conductivity in North America goes. I would bet that can be found using Google.

Subject: [IRCA] dx dead spots

Hi all…..           a topic that has always confounded me is the subject of
“dx deadspots”.  Literally geographic areas where nothing of a dx nature
seems to penetrate.  I’ve alluded to this in previous threads and blamed it
on

Antennas, sunspots, noise…… you know the usual suspects.  I’ve even
postulated that poor soil conductivity is a contributor.  While much has
been written on these topics (other than soils to my knowledge)  I wonder

If any of you have these same frustrations.  Naturally I leave “ass time in
the chair”  as the last factor.  We all know what that means when it comes
to good dx.   I’ll even go as far to express that having top notch gear

Is useless if you don’t use it!     nevertheless, the perception does exist
that  “location,location,blah,blah”  may be a significant although
unexplored factor plagueing all of us.

Anyone else experience these blasé feelings?
