31th. December 2030/2130z. At 2030z no signals on the band and Qrn levels
high. First station heard, at 2045z, was KC6VW on 1824.5. Just before
sunrise, at 2108, first Eu heard and worked. At 2 minutes after sunrise, at
2114z, Jack VE1ZZ was in the log AND at 2120z a solid Qso with Jeff, K1ZM. I
stayed on the band hoping for other USA but nil, going Qrt at 2130z. My freq
1831.7...will be looking for other long path USA in the new year. 73 es dx
