Dietmar,
I thought my morning (13:00-14:00 Z) was the best so far. I've been plagued
with powerline noise from two sources, known to the power company, but still
unrepaired.
On several other mornings I have known you were there but knew it was pointless
to call, given your power and antenna advantage over me. This morning I could
hear your CQs so I called. We completed a QSO at 13:24 Z, 24 minutes before my
SR.
A few minutes later you were Q5 with my headphones laying on the desk.
Ten minutes after our QSO I worked H44WA on FT8 on the first sequence.
So I guess it depends on from what direction you are looking. Thank you for
the QSO, I now have you on 160 and all HF bands on CW, and 25 slots total.

Last night I thought it was the most worst night of the DXped but this night
topped it.
Made only about 30 CW QSOs and OE2VEL worked a few in FT8 but mostly stations
we already
had worked in CW.
Actually the night started good with two times VE7 and W6 just after sunset,
sorry was
few minutes late to work KP4AA because dinner came too late. Worked N4WW with
good
signal but later signals dropped down.
I see it when VE6WZ skimmer signal strength falls below 10dB it is pretty hard
to hear
anybody here in the tropic noise.
Complete night we had terrible QRN from nearby thunderstorm causing s9 crashes
all the
time. There was almost no sunrise peak so all the callers remained in the noise.
It only can become better. Still some time to continue
