Also very strange in NJ. Around 3:00 I had  18 contacts with Arizona
stations and no other state or DX (heard only AZ).  Hope tomorrow is better.

    Colin:

Well, the band never really opened up that much here all day.

Worked a few South American stations and a Mexico station on CW, but just
not that many signals on the band.

Very strange here in Central Lower Michigan.
