shouldn't have been open at all, but there he was. I suspect the
propagation mode was multi hop sporadic E, but I can't say for sure.
Sporadic E would have required about four hops. F2 would have needed
at least two hops but more likely three provided the night time
ionization was high enough. I doubt it was however.

near the peak of the cycle. Strange things do happen on ten. It is a fun

Two years ago I had an enormous hour of 255 at the beginning of the 10 meter
contest. It was a mix of e skip to the North (W8, W2, etc.) mixed with W6,W7
and JAs. See you all this weekend on 10.
