Musings:

Looking at various propagation prediction programs ,30m should be my best band, but I barely hear anything and have only had a couple of contacts on 30m.

My 15m performance in the CQ World Wide (WW) Single Side Band (SSB) contest showed that something was wrong.

Quickly looking at my G5RV Jr antenna analysis results shows that those two bands are the worst in terms of SWR. Above 6:1. Reading some literature shows that those two bands are the worst for most G5RVs.

Hmmm... Time for a 30m / 15m fan dipole?

Then I could take down the G5RV and put up a dedicated 40m / 20m fan dipole. Something to think about.

Oh well... Back to Daddy-dom.
