G'day all,

Conditions seem to have finally improved on the topband into Europe, with
several stations being worked each morning in the window fifteen minutes
before and after sunrise (currently around 2107Z).  24/12 and 26/12 were
particularly good days, with nine and fifteen stations worked respectively.

On 26/12/ stations were worked in an arc extending south from Scandinavia,
into the Czech Republic and Germany and as far south as Sicily and as far
west as France.

I have been looking every day for CT3/DL3DXX since the day before Christmas
Eve, from 2030Z until after my sunrise (2107Z), but no luck so far.  If
anyone works Dietmar on the higher bands, please QSP there is a desperate
VK6 desperately looking for him.

Happy New Year to all and let's hope the Stew Perry brings some very FB
conditions.

Vy 73,

Steve, VK6VZ
