Comments:

Wow! very "interesting" conditions.  20 was nil here, nary a signal
heard at 0230Z.  40 seemed OK, but when I tried working folks after 0300Z I
couldn't get a response, so absorption must have been high.  80 was noisy,
average QRN was S7 to S9, probably from thunderstorms in Wisconsin and Northern
Michigan.  But, I managed to work 9 before the band went "really long and
watery"   Then, W5AW popped up - thanks, Marv.  Stuck around for a while
longer, but no new "loud" stations.  Tried a few weaker stations,
figuring they might be using lower power, but NIL.

Shades of a solar minimum, but this early in the year?  It's still summer until
21 Sept, but tell that to Old Sol. :)
