Dan, etc.
You missed the best one of all. Ivan, VE3DO, spotted 7Q7BP before 0300z on
1814.. he was workable on QSB peaks shortly after 0300zulu, and his signal
kept building slowly to an honest 579 about 0330z. Lots of Topbanders got
new a new one, at least as far as Colorado.
By 0300z, SM4CAN was peaking 599, S59A(?) was 579. RA6AX was 599+, DK8YY/6W
also 599+ etc.
If the 80 meter operator at J20RR had gotten someone on 160 instead of just
signing off before sunrise, we might have had an even better night. It is
too band they ran out of momentum or electricity, etc.
Good luck this evening.
