8M is well open to the West, no callers as NA lost it's allocation on 8M, time to get some kind of petition going for our friends across the Atlantic to get back on 8M.

Still waiting to get at least one contact on 23cms, only 10w here, I did hear some beacons a few weeks ago during some tropo but no activity.
