Absolutely the best opening in years, signals were even stronger here in
the PNW than the CQWW 95 opening, Logged over 20 europeans in 2 hours. What
was different about this opening is that the signal seemed to be coming in
at higher angles as has been reported in the past with some of these type
of strong openings. Signals from Washington to Europe were typically 2 s
units stronger on my low inverted V (90' at apex) versus the 2 element
inverted L array. Stations who wopuld not answer after repeated calls on
the L's answered on the first call when called on V.
