I too worked CN3A in daylight at my end here near Allison Colorado.
Another great surprise was to have UR2M and SV3RF answer my CQ machine.
SV3RF was so loud I thought he was a local for a few dits. Regarding
comments or complaints by some in re very high power EU stations, TX
antenna suckiness etc., the photo of SV3RF station on his web shows a
typical ham desktop linear, he says four 811's or similar. Sometimes
conditions are just peachy!
