Propagation... Well at least that's what I hope it is. EU was
pounding in here Friday night early, but from the sounds of it, even
the Top Band heavies were having some difficulty making the contact.
Funny, later in the evening, particularly during the EU SR period,
their signals were way down (compared to our SS) but QSOs were much
easier... well at least in Tennessee,

Yes! I was hearing eastern Europe very well in SE New Mexico 2+
hours before my sunset Friday. This prompted me to make this list
Saturday afternoon:
2305z OM7M 569
2314 CT3FN 569
2314 YU1LA 559
2317 CT3KN 559
2332 S52AW 559
2334 CN2R 559
2335 OL0W 559
2338 CR2X 579
2340 OM8A 589
2343 HG8DX 549
2350 HG3DX 549
My sunset was about 0020z !
I called some of these, but don't remember being able to work any of
them at these times. Some were worked later in the evening (and a few
had been the night before). The pipe was filling in EU and emptying
in the SW USA. Wasn't working well going the other way at all, and I
didn't hear many eastern USA calling the DX either. It would have
been great if the receiving and sending had REALLY been reciprocal!!

Hobbs, NM (southeast corner)
P.S. I am reminded that it would be nice to know a closer location
of everyone reporting here and on 3830. I resolve to be more
specific than just NM in the future. And CA is an even larger place
with wide differences in propagation.
