Well, even though "bug night" isn't over, I got on the air from 7 to 10:30
pm and didn't find a soul around - but I did have several bug QSOs when I
tuned around the bands and just found people calling CQ.

Perhaps the confusion about the "Bug Night" being tonight - Monday Night -
instead of Sunday night was part of the confusion.
