Those of us on the left coast pray for high band openings since 40 is useless during the day this far away. I know I'll be checking 15 around the announced frequencies a lot and have no problem asking stations to QSY if the band is open. As stated, random excursions there for a quick CQ or two can't hurt and I guarantee you I'll be there listening. Good luck to all and I sure hope condx are better than last weekend! 73...<BR>
