Yeah we are still on, but a depressed MUF, lousy conditions, will be on until 1200 or so, maybe things will improve.?

Sorry Betty Crocker, but we are probably skipping over you. Try around at 1200, we will go off shortly thereafter.

Off at 1215 thanks to all for your efforts!

Here is a plot of the BBR signal strength at my QTH. The noise floor was about S6, as you can see:
