As we've said before, many of us in NA are fighting not just QRN but significant attacks from lightning.  There a lot of us that are essentially shut down for the season, my self included  (four square elements are now grounded and the 8 circle is decommissioned).  I'm still QRV somewhat with a 1/4 wave sloping vertical with elevated radials but deaf as a post much of the time.

Propagation on 160m between this part of Europe and North America seems to
have been really
poor for several weeks now . . .

RBN reports from across the pond are typically 20dB down on normal most of
the time . . . and hear very few NA stations on the band.

Not sure why that is . . .
