I managed a couple of qso on 30m in the 1900 session.? On holiday without my qcx so using kx3. Antenna was a 20m vertical with an extra bit of wire to bring it close to 30m resonance.

My 1300Z report .... well, nothing to report ! Bands were in very bad shape, I called CQ for 30 minutes on 30m, NIL. Also got very few spots on RBN. Tried 17m for 15 minutes , again NIL ...
My 1900Z report ... more luck : 2 QSO's on 30m: I1GZG and SP7HLV, then 2 on 60m: F4WDZ and F1JKN, but alas no QCX's worked. F4WDZ on 60m was Pete G4IOA, operating from France.
Rigs used : my QCX Classic's for 20m and 40m, both used on the "one lower" band, in a correctly tuned random endfed.
Key : my new 'Gelatelli' straight key, built for the SKCC WES last weekend, see picture here and you will understand , hi.
