A minor understatment!
All I heard was a brief peak around 0200 of a qso on 1826... otherwise
silent from the far areas.. did not listen after about 0230...
You guys get the 50-75 countries in EU in the test-- all we get is JA and
KH6.. Hope we get an opening, but with the predicted K at 6 I doubt that we
will hear EU in the test.. Wish more DX stations had the patience to grind
thru the domestic noises to work the stations who DO listen for DX..
