Tried him several times and couldn’t get through.

He faded from here but I could still hear half the stations still working him.

He was a lot stronger here 45m ago. I was shoveling in bread pudding with rum hard sauce about then and calling in between bites.

Conditions getting worse so I shut down and came upstairs.

correction

I was working a different Guadalupe station on 20m.

Edit, maybe a contest teammate working the other band?

Right now (04/09/21 between 1900 and 1910Z) on 20 meter FT8 there were:
Canada 6 stations,
England 2 stations,
Germany 2 stations,
Romania 1 station,
Greece 2 stations,
Italy 2 stations,
Belgium 1 station,
Portugal 1 station,
France 1 station,
Spain 3 stations,
Mexico 1 station,
Netherlands 1 station,
Domican Republic 1 station,
Cuba 1 station,
Puerto Rico 1 station,
Alaska 1 station,
North Macedonia 1 station,
Lebanon 1 station,
Azores 1 station,
Cyprus 1 station,
USA - I lost count.

All calling CQ at more or less the same time. It's actually pretty slow right now, there are places on the band that aren't painted red on the waterfall (meaning one or more very powerful stations). Most days around this time I can't find a relatively quiet slot to slide into.

Edit - 1953Z ... Add Turkey, Poland, European Russia, Canary Islands, Venezuela, Colombia, Sicily, Hungary, Ireland, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, and Denmark. Some of these are working other stations though, and not calling CQ.

Edit - 2044Z ... Add US Virgin Islands, Croatia, Jamaica, Bosnia-Herzegovina. You're probably starting to get the idea that this mode is a DX gold mine. In the few weeks I've been using it I've noticed that it has gotten extremely crowded at times.
