Spent more time in this than I expected. Time flies when you're having fun...
10 and 15 were in rare form for cycle 24. 20 meters at night sounded like
summertime, chock full of warbly over-the-pole signals. The second night it was
still rockin' when I went to sleep at 2am local. 40 was it's reliable self.
Signals weren't great on 80 (as usual when 10/15 are hot) but noise was low.
160 was just flat the first night, but popped open for EU sunrise the second.
Had fun chasing signals on the greyline. I love Top Band in ARRL DX since the
DX are listening toward W/VE and the band isn't obliterated by S9+ stateside
runners like in the 160 tests. I didn't work anything to the west except KL7RA,
though. Never heard Hawaii or anything else in AS/OC, but I probably slept
through any openings in that direction.
6 band sweeps: E7DX,EC2DX,HK1NA,KP2M,PJ2T,TM6M. 73,
