Comments:

Very weird propagation due to the arriving CMEs.  I wasn't hearing the W1 area
or the west coast at all.  PJ2T was good copy right after sunset.  He was also
there about the same time on Saturday with few takers.  I got up early on
Saturday and worked KH6AQ.  At 7:30am local, the band went dead. 
Saturday night was slower for me,  I think a lot of guys found something more
beneficial to do with their time.  The Northeast was finally coming through.  I
wanted to get at least one W6 in the log before I quit.  A few very weak ones
started to appear but they couldn't hear me.  I saw TI7W spotted so I tried him
instead.  He had a pileup but he answered my first call.  That's the craziness
of 160.  Can't work CA but I can work TI easily.  Around midnight the west coast
showed up but very weak.  QSB took long slow fades so I had to wait until they
were peaking before calling them.  I was able to add SF SJV EB SDG before
quitting.
I got up after sunrise Sunday and there was only one station on, VE5MX in SK. 
Good for a new mult.  160 is nuts.
