Peter,
Thanks for the report.

Great conditions last night!
Starting around 0450 Z, the band got very good to EU from EJ06 (about 2400 km west of Panama).
 I worked G, F, SM, OZ, SP, DL, S5, 9A, OM, OK, HB, R3, R2, LY and I.  
There was TS noise here, but most were a good copy with some QSB/QRM.
Power here was 1 kW to a 16 m long vertical with its base at about 15 m on top or metal structure (plus saltwater ground all around).
TKS and 73,
George

Excellent signals from your /MM up here in the Arctic this morning George. 
Listened to you for about half an hour.

Very little QSB on your signals compared to W/VE stations who were subjected to 
pretty wild swings.

For the first time this season NA stations from the east coast and all the way 
out the west coast were coming in. A definite (positive) change in LF 
propagation at my latitude 65.4N.

I thought propagation was very good.MM in the Pacific from about 1400 miles 
west of Panama (in DJ76), I could hear EU, including R3 stations quite well.
No man-made noise here, except my own.CU and 73,GeorgeAA7JV/MM -- Region 2
