Hello Tim
I am a "Johnny Novice" on Top Band; my best was 25 EU DX contacts the
night before last night. That was the first time I was able to call CQ
and have EU stations answer me! Last night I worked a few EU, but was
playing with my EWE antenna.
TB is indeed fun, and very challenging (at least for me!)

There was a huge NA-EU 160M opening last night and I was surprised to work
50 Europeans on one night, outside a contest. I'm sure that 160M veterans
can tell me of working 1000 on a good night, but this was great for me. I'm
surprised there were that many Europeans awake before their dawn! Including
Russians and Ukranians too.
It was a little different than the "Belgium-specific" opening I found a few
months ago, this one seems to have been all across Europe. There was a good
hour when the DL's, ON's, OK's were loud like regional stations on 80M and
there were a couple loud Ukranians too.
