Well, the band went long, early.  I heard John AZP testing around 7PM,
strong signal up here.  Jim in Fayetteville was good copy but faded out as
well.  The net started OK with good print here but flamed out in about
10-15 minutes into it.   I think as the season changes, maybe start at
0130Z -  would work OK, then adjust as local sunset arrives earlier..

Or we could try 80 meters (3587) but that might benefit from an earlier
start time as well.  I'm flexible on freq & time...
