Only 2 pigs heard. Thanks to W9QEW and KT4WA for the contacts. Band was very long. Heard CA POTA station. Missed day two altogether but it doesn't look like I missed much.

Day 2: I gave it a try from 0230 to 0245 Z - no go. No RBN hits and I could just barely detect FT-8 activity up the band.
Band seemed almost totally dead. Will see what happens next month. 72, Mark WB9HFK oo

Called on 140635 for 30 mins, hunted from 060-065, not a single oink. Stuff happens down here in the evening, noise goes up and signals disappear. Checking the RBN I see I was heard ar 2300&2400 miles, closest in was 767 miles.
I HAVE JUST REALIZED THAT MY LACK OF CONTACTS WAS DUE TO BEING ONE HOUR LATE. This isn’t my first time to do this, but with reference to 3 times screws an old guy’s brain. Boilerplate makes it easier for the programmers but not so easy for the reader.
