When I check propagation, I also check W1AW transmissions.  For example, I 
can sit and hear not one peep anywhere on 17 meters; not even any of the CW 
beacons on 18.110 MHz.  Yet, at 9 PM at night W1AW, on 18.097 MHz, will be 
S9 sending away bulletins and CW practice.  So I always check beacons, WWV, 
CHU in Canada, and other such sources.  I have been hearing WWVH on 15 MHz 
at 9PM mountain time some nights running 20 over S9.  So it pays to check I 
guess.
