I am there just about everyday and there is quite a bit of daytime activity. I am antenna challenged with my only antenna being a Buddipole in the attic but I hear and have worked quite a few stations. I have never been down around 7.035MHz. I will listen down there next week when I get back from visiting family for the holiday. Ummm...I do have my NUE-PSK Digital Modem with me and a Kenwood TS-B2000 in the car so maybe I can check things out down there tomorrow. As for 80M, I have heard a whole lot of activity there any time of the day. Of course, I just recently got my Buddipole to tune up on 80M. Look around 3.582MHz on 80 for activity.
I'll be looking for you. 73, Carl W8KRF
