Last night for me was interesting. I worked I5JVA who was a true 599 at my
QTH in eastern PA and I never hear Europe better then 579 on the best days!
Then I worked VP5/KM3T but after that - nothing! Last week the band was much
better at my QTH. Low noise and was easily working into Europe - which is a
rarity from my QTH with my antenna and noise levels.
I'm still hoping to capture 8 more new ones to finish DXCC this winter. I
did work OY9 last week for a new one.

Well sadly conditions were rather poor last night . . .
Also I wasn't sure how many stations made it on the band, as I had
torrential rain all night, and with the 400kV power lines a mile away that
caused a high noise level, so could only copy stations above S7.
Oh well . . . perhaps it will be better next Wednesday !
