Dont worry, how many PA and ON,stn's are in VK0IR's log, there are some yes,

No, dont think so, BUT, last week friday i sat all night at PI4ZLD, i could
not hear any USA stns, that had booming sigs, WHEN there was a G stn.,
talking to many stateside stn's like they were on the blower, and we have
on4un (book design) beverages.
Just strange condx.. But i did work JA tho, that evening 1 hour after his
sunset, and he was 579, i listend for 10 minutes afterwards there were no
takers, looks like the signal dropped right on top of me and nobody else..
Sorry for the irelavant bandwidth, but i could not resist..
Cu in de test.
