40m is working close today. I copied KC9HEK calling CW SKCC about 75 miles away but no reply to my answer. Copied WA2YLY in Hawley PA 92 miles away down in PA, short QSO. Bob was a 599, he reported me at 559. I'm only using 4 watts out to my zepp and there was some fade so if you're trying HF it's working but at least on 40,m CW it's real close in!

"close in" meaning limited propagation distance?

@addison yeah, that's just lingo for excatly that, propagation is close if at all. Maybe slightly better than saying the "band is dead"
