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.

Subject: Topband: Wednesday 160m DX Activity Night
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 !
