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.
