HF Propagation - disappointing at best

Anyone else disappointed in dx conditions on the higher HF ham bands? Propagation on 10 and 12 meters was fantastic all winter and into the spring - Russians and Eastern Europeans by morning, Pacific stations and Alaska by evening but aound the first week of April, something changed drastically and the bottom basically dropped out. Lately, it's a treat to even hear a north-south path into South America, with a few LU or PY prefixes scattered about.

Also, the sporadic E skip season seems to be a bust this year, but summer season is still young.
