Roger, I haven't been able to be on much the last few days but I did get on for a bit, both nights. It was for me, in Connecticut, just across the pond, extremely quiet, almost un-naturally so.
I thought I had something affecting my radio or antennas, maybe the attenuator on with no visual indicator of being active. But no, F, G & DL were definitely in there & some were peaking at S7. Friday night I was barefoot and worked DF2PY, his signals were Q5 throughout and though he had a bit of a challenge getting my call at first, we made the QSO just fine. That was at 05:03Z. All considering, the band was pretty nice on this end the last two days. 73, Gary KA1J > Well I came on 160m both Friday Night and Saturday night.
