Hi Bob, and all,

Yes Bob, here also two nights ago G3PQA and F5NZ were both worked  in
VE6 via the direct polar path…no skew here.
Last night the band was in great shape again with G4UFK, ON7PQ, G3OQT
and F5NTV all making it across the pole.
For me the band opened up around EU  greyline beginning around 0400z.
The QSB was long and very deep with the signals disappearing
completely for a long time with only very short peaks of Q5 copy.
The band is still very much alive!
Here is John, G3PQA CQing two nights ago:

Now two days old due to mail bounce.

Last evening a brief pre-greyline opening occurred to western Europe on 160m from the SW. I was able to work G3PQA at 03:33 UTC. This late in the season makes this type of contact rare. Propagation at the time favored southern east coast. At that time solar wind was below 250m/sec and proton density was less than 2cm squared.

A side note. 40m was popping with S9 plus EU during this time period.
