On Saturday afternoon I took a cursory listen on the hight bands.  10m
only had a brief burst of voice on 28.405 for the couple minutes I tuned
around that frequency.  Neither CW nor FT8 showed any life.

I then checked 15m and found no SSB nor CW but FT8 was going so the band
was open to some extent.

I see this quite a bit where a seemingly dead band still has FT8 signals
with what are probably good S/N ratios.  I've not opened WSJTX in years
and I am guessing from what I hear and what I see on the P3 display.

I was in and out of the shack as I was putting my antennas back together
the storm tore up a couple of weeks back.
