Things fired off again today around 8 AM local.  Usually the SV and I 
come in.. Some interesting ones showed up today..HV0A.  They will be 
back tomorrow per intel.  They occasionally go to another freq the EU 
are trying to fire up.  50333.  I  would put that into the WSJT or JTDX 
freq list just in case. HV0 was on 333 for a bit then came back to 313.

I used 323 most of the day with some use on 313.  323 seems to get away 
from US to US a lot.  When thing die down everyone seems to go back to 
313.  Last two days things have slowed down a lot by 11:30 local.  Just 
a few stragglers after that.  It tries to open again every day around 
20:30 but did not do much today other than a few EA and CT.

Also TZ4AM has a new 10 ele yagi pointed to NA.  He tried some initial 
CQ today on CW.  This will a tough nut possibly.  I am trying to get him 
onto FT8 but may be a while.

Some other interesting heard  HB0, 4X, US6.  All the other normal 
players were around SV, SV9, G, HB9, EA, CT, DL, ON etc  Did not hear 
the 9K or A4 today although they were spotted.

If do not already know, please always use ODD sequence calling to EU.  
That is what they expect and it makes things a lot quieter when we are 
receiving them on EVEN.  Although if you hear a new country on ODD,  I 
would not hesitate to call.  The JA want the opposite.  They want us on 
EVEN usually.

Florida had a great day of it.  Their prop is often much better than ours.

Lets see if we still have something tomorrow.  73
