Condition to EU were good here last night as well.  I got early in the evening about 2300z for a short time and worked nine EUs plus VP9 all of which called in.  Got back on later at 0426z and worked 15 more EUs.  EU daylight finally stopped the fun.

Last night the band was in fine shape again. It sounded like there was a lot of 
activity from NA.
Kevin KL7KY was also working into EU.

I logged 37 EU last night with a few “new, never logged on 160m” callsigns.
5B4AJC and OX7AM both had very good signals.
A highlight was working Ash 3V8SH at 420z.  Ash only runs 100w so he was not 
strong, but good enough for the QSO.
Unfortunately I did not have my sound file recorder running at the time, but I 
did take a screen shot of his trace on the Flex waterfall.
On the image I circle his trace when we QSOd, but you can “see” him calling 
earlier with a faint trace.  Other EU CQs can also be seen across the band:

I will not be QRV for the next few days since I am travelling to visit my 
daughter and grand kids.

Keep the band alive….it seems like the condx have been pretty good lately, and 
might be FB for the contest this weekend.
