Today was the best JA opening I've ever witnessed from Iowa. It was
remarkable in every respect. I got on about 10:30z and found things to be
pretty quiet. Around 11:30z I heard VK6HD. Mike had a good signal and was
working many station. Around 11:40z JA1HQT showed up. Gradually more
stations got on and by 12:30z the floodgates had opened and the JA window
literally sounded like 20 mtrs. I worked most of what I heard which
included:
JA1HQT, JA1JRK, JA1CGM, JF1NZW, JH8SRI, JA8ISU, JH0BQX, AND JA0MVW.
At my sunrise (abt 13:20z) JA1JRK was peaking at +15db/S9! All JA signals
were peaking on the NW beverage (580', 2 wire).
73 to all. . . Dave
