Hi Dave - Conditions good here in Savannah last night and this  morning.  
Finally got VK9CZ this morning on 10m, 100w.  Also Hong  Kong, Indonesia on 
15m and Rodriquez and Bahrain last night on 20m.  Plus a  number of just nice 
DX.
 
Enjoy your posts - Jere, KT4ZB

I saw a  lot of DX showing on DX summit this morning so I went up and found 
Europe  calling EP3SMH.  He came up after a few minites to 5/5 and I was 
the  
only one calling when he asked for NA.

I went to 28440 and heard  VK9CZ weakly with the beam on EP so I turned it 
to 
direct short path and  he was S7.  I got him second call with 90 watts.

Just after I  worked the VK9 something happened to the band (1420Z) and 
almost all  signals went out except for a few EU calling VK9.  Even the 
local 
on  28425 calling CQ 10 10 was down to S2.   I went to 12 and the only  DX 
I 
heard was an F5.  Slowly the band came back in on 10 and I  noticed several 
W4 listing VK9CZ but nothing here.  The strongest  signal on the band was a 
JY4 at 10 over 9 about 28460. I saw a N1 saying  the VK9 was S9 in new 
England and easy.  Still zip here.  He was  589 on 21 CW at 1510Z.

SF and spots rairly high but A and K 3 and  2.  20 was great last night 
with 
Russia and EK7AD booming  in.

Selective blackout or what??
