Faithful Topbanders in much of the U.S. experienced outstanding conditions
to Europe Wednesday evening (NA time). It was the best opening I've seen
from here in Iowa in two or three years. There were many true S9 signals
from Europe. There was also some of the deepest QSB (from S9+5 to gone. .
.below the S1-2 noise floor) I've experienced on some but not all signals.
It was good to see several Western US and West Coast stations making EU Qs.
18 EU Qs went into the log here including several first time call signs.

Echoing Dave, best EU cndx I have ever experienced here, in central Arizona!
That's a difficult path for us in the southwest. A dozen EU stations went in
my log that night, and yes, some calls I had never heard before. QSB also
very deep here. Some stations could go from true S9 and then into the noise in
a matter of seconds. That's always makes things tough, but the sheer strength
of most signals made up for it.
GL to all this Topband season!
