ST2AR at 0300 UTC - 559 but intentional QRM and big pileup

 

FK8CP spotted as 599 in AR at 0400 UTC, I could not hear even a whisper.
Maybe chordal ducting (I keep ON4UN's book on my nightstand for re-reading
each evening at bedtime)

 

KL7RA at my sunrise, first call QSO.  Surprised that there was not a bigger
pileup, signal was 579.  Also surprised at the strength, I thought there was
more aurora impact with increased sunspots.

 

 

 

 

100 watts and an inverted L, let's see what happens!
