Yep
The big JA run was from 11:00 to 13:00z I worked 35 of em! Only heard JA7NI
after 1300, he was strong enough, the rest of them must have used up their
14 hours or just plain got tired and went to bed!

The "Spotlight" effect is apparently alive and well in Washington just as
in the 160 test. Here on the east side of the state only 300 miles farther
east , GM3POI was louder (than SM5EDX) by about 1 S unit and was copiable
here on the east side of the state for 3 hours! KH6CC was on briefly for
the first hour of the contest from 1500 to 1600Z on Saturday morning.
