EST Friday).

Appears conditions were good this past weekend on 160 in the ARRL DX.  
Last night I heard 9M2AX at his SR (just a little past our sunset) for 
the second time ever.  He peaked a solid 559 but, unfortunately, no QSO 
despite calling many times.  Stereo diversity recording here:

Ross's signals were coming from the NE.  Left ear on 3-el NE beverage 
array, right ear on newly erected BSEF 8-circle (YCCC active elements).  
About 2 wavelengths separation between arrays. Good CQs around the 4:00 
minute mark, switched to the transmit 4SQ (NE) briefly around 5:47 marker.

Also, SV5DKL reports that he will be QRV as SX5R during the contest from 
Dodecanese if anyone needs it.
