The bands are actually getting better over all lately. They could be a lot 
better but it's noticeably better from the little bit I get to play around 
on the bands which consists of NTS nets mostly due to my busy schedule 
lately. I see a lot less relays though and if I take a break and scan 
around, things are better. I'm glad to see it. I was hoping to get a new 
antenna up this fall but I'm not going to make it I don't think.
