Well, the band was open albeit briefly this morning from the UK to ZL. When I 
used to operate in G/ZL tests in the early 60s that was thought impossible at 
this time of year. I can’t speak for the intervening years but other than at 
the Equinoxes there is no grey line path between the two. 

So something must be working well.
