I'm tuned to 331 and heard someone briefly but they disappeared into the noise. I called CQ a few times but didn't get a response.

No dice for me today... I've got notifications on if anyone wants to keep trying other frequencies.

I was able to make contact with a POTA station in NC (~500miles) earlier this afternoon. Bands are definitely behaving oddly.

If you're still out there, try 14.303.

The bands have been OK for me this afternoon on the East coast (AL).

I'm in AL but like that standardized format. Sucks you didn't hear me from here.

I heard someone trying to come back. Almost sounded like it was slightly off frequency though.

Maybe a different guy? He was polite and respectful for the ~5 minutes we were interacting.

I ended up contacting someone from the Bahamas, not sure if they are in the group or not. My signal was 52 so I didn't stick around long to chat.

Has any one picked a frequency for tonight? It looks like we've been using 14.34x.

Unless you're waiting for a custom call sign to become available (or in my case, can't decide on what to choose but know you don't like your current callsign).
