I bet that at least 30% of the time, when a band sounds dead, there are actually hordes of radio amateurs listening and thinking to themselves, "Boy, the band is dead." (This is one reason why contests are frequently surprising. It isn't that conditions are any better, but there are just many more people on the air, making it sound like it's really hot.) I'm only sorry that I didn't see Wayne's message until much later tonight, otherwise I would have been there. I just spun my VFO knob at it came up on an odd number!
