Was playing poker last night - so no Europe for me.
That is - unless I can snag someone in the morning. Set the alarm for
about 6 AM (one hour before sunrise) - get on 1831.5 and call CQ and
instantly answerd by UT3UA. After about 7 minutes - I have a pileup
and have to go split!!! This feels like I am in HC8 or something.
Put 27 calls in the log - 3 of them from Asia. Worked UT, UA3, SP,
ES, SM, YL, OH, LA and UA9/0. This is exactly the kind of openings I
remember from 11 years ago.
Just hoping this will happen during one of the upcoming contests!!!

I understand from K7TJR that the opening started around 1300Z - so I will
try to get up earlier tomorrow.

PS: I saw W7LR active on the Topband chat page this AM - so he is back
home and must be doing okay. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bob!
