From about 04:00 to 04:30 UT I could see traces of what I believe was

Laurie's signal.  It was right on 72,400.8.  If so I would say
propagation was good considering the QRN level which is probably
reducing my receive sensitivity by at least 10 db.

Hi John,Dex and all.
I started transmitting at 23:10,the Kp index went up to 3 but is now 2, so
we have a chance, I hope.
Transmitting now and will run until about 06:30 UTC.
OK about 136 I am very happy to go back there and agree that there are more
stations who could participate.
both here and at your end.
I just wanted to get as much done on 73 before we lose the band in June.
Will see what I can do at this end for the next possible opening.
Watch this space!  and thanks for watching.
73 Laurie.
