It may take a contest to get things going. 20 and 15 meters were excellent
this weekend for DX on CW, and there was plenty of sporadic-E on 10 and 6,
including some openings in the FM broadcast band at times. Try evenings
rather than daytime for 20 meters and see what's happening.
I ended up with 242 QSOs in the WPX CW contest, but I learned that I need to
do a lot more work on N1MM Logger and Window-Eyes so that I know when I'm
making mistakes such as putting a QSO number and then another callsign into
the callsign field because I didn't hit the spacebar at the right time.
