Wayne,
I remember that band. It was my favorite even though I wasn't a
novice. I met some of the friendliest hams in the world there, to
include some great DX.

Thanks to the PX3 panadapter and the CQ WW CW contest, I just made my
first QSO in at least three decades in the legacy 21.1 MHz U.S.
Novice-license segment. I didn't expect activity to spread upward that
far, but sure enough, blips appeared on the PX3 above 21.1, and I was
able to make a quick QSO with WK1Q using 12 W (KX3 barefoot).
This brought back a lot of memories. 21.1-21.15 was my favorite place
to hang out back in the 1970s, when I was crystal-controlled on
transmit, using a Heath HW-16. In those days I had a home-rolled
2-element 15-meter yogi made from 1/2-inch steel pipe and 2x4s. Must
have weighed 40 pounds. Fortunately, my patient stepfather knew that
getting that antenna up would keep me out of trouble (I was 15 at the
time).
