Tuesday I worked an EA7 on FT8.
Wednesday activity FT8 wise was down quite a bit.

160 is full of surprises.   I have been casually looking to work Fedor UK9AA 
when he has been on the band.  Last night the conditions seemed awful.  Only EU 
I was hearing was RW5C and he was much weaker than normal.

When UK9AA was spotted on CW, as always I listened but thought, with these poor 
condx, there was no chance.

To my surprise,  Fedor’s signal was readable here in WV, and he was easily 
worked.  Of all nights to get him, I did not think it would be last night.

Goes to show, you can take nothing for granted on 160M.   I almost pulled the 
plug due to the poor condx, and would have missed a new one if we would have 
done that.

Conditions have been rather poor the last few evenings . . . or is it just
lack of activity?!

Well, I'll be on this tonight from around 2330Z, so hopefully lots of others
will be too

So we'll find out !
