Conditions to Asia this morning from here in Iowa were quite good. JH1HDT, JA0MVW, and JA7BXS were CQing for some time and all had good signals. . .true 569-579 occasionally peaking 589. Kim/HL3IVL was solid 559-569. . .the strongest I've heard him this season. JK1OLT, an all time new call sign, called in with a Q5 449 signal. Alas, nary a peep from VK9CZ while he was on CW. I don't think he had many NA takers (if any) and migrated to FT-8. All in all. . . a good morning. The evening conditions to EU have been generally very good as well. Sometimes spotty with some areas having great prop and others poor, but good openings overall with plenty of CW activity. Things are looking good so far this season. Let's get on and have fun!

Having hooked my inverted L yesterday I woke early (not on purpose) so grabbed some coffee and turned on the radio. I could hear JA from Ohio on the Hi-Z an hour before my sunrise. Called a few times to no avail. 15 minutes later put two JAs in the log. Heard peeps of some other Asian stuff but no real copy.

Topband could be good this season!
