Comments:
Saturday was quiet, but 6m made up for it on Sunday with steady Es.
Some stations using CW/SSB mentioned that they worked 6m until the band
closed.
With FT8, it just slowed down a little. A strategy of leaving FT8 for
SSB to get
a better rate when reports climbed above -10 wasn't totally successful
because
other stations stuck to their screens. FT8 changes everything, but don't
use it
blindly.
We missed adjacent San Diego grid DM12 on all bands above 6m, a real
surprise.
