Same conclusions here in central Texas. Lots of stations, but most were
barely readable. I didn't hear any EU or Asian DX, partly because my
Beverage was down and partly (mostly) because, although the band was quiet,
conditions were sub-par.
I ran my TL-922 and an inverted-V (apex at 75 feet). Last year it was an
inverted-L with elevated radials. This time, I could still work everything
I could hear, but I might have heard more with the Bev and the Inv.-L.
Still, very enjoyable.
