I worked a bunch of stations this evening. I worked most of the stations listed by GB Ron. I missed trying with  W1AUV and  W2BYP, but got everyone else plus WW1Z, WA1MBA, WA2JAY  and ended up with 27 stations and 28 Qs as I worked W8ZN (485 miles) on CW early with weak signals but then copied him very loud on FT8 later in the evening. Best QSO was WA3EOQ at 502 miles and he was Q5 and 529 for the entire time that I heard him. This is unusual but similar to three weeks ago when Howard was very loud over that long path. I am not sure what to make of it as local signals were often times a bit weak.    K3GNC was great copy on SSB with his 16 watts. I must have caught Jerome on a good QSB peak. He dropped down as we finished the QSO.  All in all, it was  great evening with many signals and not enough time to try with everyone. My walk down the hill was interesting as I encountered a rather big possum and it just turned around and I followed it home. I was a bit upset that his home was next to my home.
