Comparable but slightly different results here in SE Kansas over the weekend. On Saturday, after the band started recovering from the high D-layer absorption values and noise later in the afternoon, distant stations ranging from EH and NC in the east to SHO and PVC in the west showed up at different times. In late afternoon, they were joined by shorter-hop stations like both SIWs, SZX, and WM. Not long after dark, though, the band did shut down for the night.

Signals were steadier Sunday afternoon from most of the more distant stations, and RF was even stronger than it has been for some time...but there were NO sightings of shorter hop signals at all on Sunday. Again the band died fairly early in the night.

Had visual indications on both days (more on Sunday) of a few stations I could not hear, such as WV and FRC, plus a few more that I'm still trying to identify forensically that may be certain stations I've not logged in recent months, such as _maybe_ AZ, AN2, YSO, and ABBY.
