A small pileup ensued. Unfortunately much QSB to 9A, so only one complete QSO. More stable to just I later. |

I saw some Italians early on, but within a few minutes they were all gone. The odd batch of decodes during the period, but no other QSO until almost an hour later. The cloud was in the same place has it has been on several other days, and was not best placed for me as it moved NW(towards me) fairly quickly after the start.

I enjoy SSB so much more and wish others would change to SSB when FT8 signals are so strong. Activity was crazily high on FT8 but on SSB there were only a few brave ones like me. I copied a lot of stations that I didnt work. No new locators or new DXCC in this one unfortunately 73 Lyn G8JLY |

As usual, when signals on digi became strong I moved to the ssb/cw portion of the band and was able to attract some activity. It is a pity wasting time on digi when signals are in + plus range.! |
