Pretty clear from that where most of our E skip landed. Fortunately for us
there are a lot of stations to work there. FN20 was the sweet spot with 56 Qs,
followed by FM19 with 50 and FN31 with 42.

On the flip side, we didn't work a single EN grid until 2316Z Sunday, when one
of the east coast E-clouds finally drifted far enough west for us.

And, no DX (besides Caribbean), no West Coast, perhaps no double hop at all. I
did briefly copy an Italian station calling CQ NA, but he did not hear me.

We dabbled with using JT65 to fill in a few nearby grids during the otherwise
dead times. Situational for sure but a valuable tool to hang on the belt.
