80m and 20m

I use mostly 80m and 20m at this time,..but will have to tune one of the radios to 17m and see what is going on on that band,...I have just made alterations to my antenna and made it into a open circuit loop,swr is ok on 20m .. So its just a case of listening and waiting until some rare dx station pops up ...
