I'm a late night person so sunrise is unlikely for me but the band has been
very quiet late evening/early morning of late, apart from the S9++ static
from summer storms. CQs on JT9/65 have only registered at most two or three
eu stations on the RB sites but no replies.

80m has been quite good but few new DX stations to work! VK/ZL coming
through grey line, and Namibia/ZS most evenings.
