Its easier to give you a pic to describe how the bands are today rather that type βBloody Awfulβ 500 times.

If you went to the Smith Falls Hamfest hope you had funβ¦ Iβve got a 2m halo antenna (for my 991a) and a 9:1 unun (yes another one) being delivered later today as I was unable to make it there. More details on the new toys after I get to test them out
AFTERTHOUGHT: Not sure if EARCHI is still offering the unun but the website is still up so perhaps would be better to email them first before you send funds.
I got this from the Rideau Lakes Amateur Radio Club Websiteβ¦.
Its just a quick cut-n-paste to keep you updatedβ¦. Iβm hoping to get there as well.
