There is not an awful lot on the 49m band these days. I use a sensitive portable communications receiver and have noticed that quite a few times during the evenings there are only a few weaker signals to be heard. Just at certain times of the evening you can hear the stronger signals from China Radio International and Radio Romania International but these broadcasts only last for 30-60 minutes. So it could be that you are listening during quieter moments.
What type of aerial are you using for 49m band reception?
