K60XV

[srife]

        I just completed and installed a K60XV in my K2 last evening. I am
not sure if it is propagation, or if my overall gain seems to be down on 75,
60 & 40. Power output is right up there where it was before the addition, so
I assume (?), maybe incorrectly, that the filters are tuned ok. 60 meters
tuned up fine and I get 100w in to a dummy load.
        Any ideas, or are the low bands just dead right now???

We've been having history-making solar flares for nearly a week. The HF
bands have been completely dead more often or not.

        That's kind of what I figured. It just seemed kind of coincidental
that, when I turned on the rig this morning, the noise level was zero, and
the sigs were really faint. Kind of scares ya, you know what I mean?? Noise
levels are back up since the sun came up. I'll have to see what the sigs are
like this evening/tonight on 75, if any.

Thanks Steve,
