FD 2017 was a great event in STX as usual. Bands were fair - 40 and 20 were red hot on CW - wish more folks had gotten on 15m Sunday morning. My suggestion: don't assume a band is dead because you don't hear any or a few stations. Get on there and call CQ FD. You might help make a band opening and get some new multipliers! Can't wait for next year - I love FD!
