Likewise worked a bunch of JA's this am from Seattle, most were strong
-5 to +3 on my Rx 4sq listening NW. Will try other directions. No Tx
directivity here. No JA's on 1908 to start, but after a few 1840 CQ JA
the rate was good.

As if there was any doubt, this pretty much proves they're all up on
1840. I got on this morning and CQd for 40 minutes beaming Asia and
never got a response.

This morning starting an hour before dawn 34 JA's were worked on FT-8 with
a 1840/1908 split. The best path was straight west for me. I don't know
how this path existed or what caused this to happen. The regular NW path
was nothing but the W and SW paths were great. Maybe the massive Arctic
air mass was causing the signals to take a warmer route and avoid the
extreme cold. Just kidding of course. But some interesting phenomenon
causes this path to exist from time to time. I hope to hear from some of
the JA's worked as to which direction was best for my signal.
