I talked to a few people in Florida for a few minuets on 19 and then they were gone. A little while later I heard Bahamas on 20 and then they were gone. And now nothing again.....

I could hear a local talking to Hawai’i. I could hear Hawai’i transmitting something but my ears are too small to pick it up. Cool nonetheless!!!
