Was an interesting evening (1/16 local). With A of 30 hardly expected band to
be open. But, it was and very well.
First Q was Andy, DL8LAS at 22:28. Last was at 23:27 (took some time off for
dinner), Karel, OK1CF. All had very good signals. Perhaps the best of the year.
Worked DL, ON, G (several), MD0, RA3, OK. Nothing really remarkable except, all
were worked with 100W. Not sure I've ever worked that many stations with 100W
on 160. Too bad we didn't have these conditions for Stew Perry contest
Did hear, around 2309, TN8K as loud as I've ever heard them. Peaking 10 to 15dB
above my noise. Very much appreciate all the effort that team has put into
working 80 and 160.
This morning (1/17) band seemed busted but then heard Dennis, ZL1AZ, work AA1K
with a Q5 signal. Unfortunately Dennis then seemed to fade. But, JH1HDT and
JA5DQH (with a very strong signal) were both worked (with a kw this time!). So,
overall, a fun evening and morning
