Worked Glenn G8NOF right  up until 21:25 UTC. Also others.

This cycle is turning out to be a lot better than forecasted.

Heard no retired A, K, W or N stations on.

Me too.  And no one copied ME. And the loop is hanging in the garage, 'caus there was too much cold and snow to hang it in the trees. And one of these days I'll strap on 10m. And you all have to be nice to me then. And I'll be O.K.
