Just signed on, a lot of fading, some peaks to S6 and dips to about S0. S4 on average.
1225 Boom Box Radio ID, back into more music.
Off at 1244z.

Thanks for the show, BBR!

I checked the real time FoF2 map: http://www.spacew.com/www/fof2.gif
And even at 1325z, it was only 5.5 MHz. So it's a little early for NVIS on 43 meters.
I ran some rough calculations, and it looks like the minimum distance for propagation is about 300 miles, and even that is marginal.
