I hung around a little longer and heard JohnyMac calling about 2000 hrs. It was a noisy night, but he was coming in pretty good, 59 (+10 a couple of times).
There was net a few kHz lower, and a couple of AM SW stations a little higher up the band, so plenty of QRM to go with the static crashes, etc. They are Spanish language, I will have to listen and try to figure out where they are located.
It was tough, but we got it done.
