[SEDXC] 6 M DX Today

[Mike Greenway]

Started out slow with mostly Caribe   HI, CO, VP5, KP2, KP4, PJ4, VP9, 
YV5, with an occasional EA or IK.  After lunch it went down to little of 
nothing.  Around 4 pm local it started trying to come back around with 
CT, EA8, EA, EA6, CU, and at 6 local who shows but  S01DX calling CQ NA.

Well the band went crazy and it seemed this area had somewhat of a 
pipeline although it seemed his operation left something to be desired.  
At first he appeared be on Fox and Hound mode and the he switched off 
that and guys would call him and he would start sending them a report 
and the USA station would continually send their report but it was like 
he never heard them.  I really am not sure what went on but occasionally 
he would send out a RR73 and you were good to go.  I dont know if he 
could not hear well or was having some operational problem.  It appeared 
it was best to call up above him.. He was around 1170 most of the time 
and then he would jump to a lower freq and then back to 1170.  You're 
kinda on you own as what to do.  He was in here strong for 2 hours. 
Unbelievable.

Around 7 local or near,  some JA stations started showing up although 
the path was weak.  I did not work any but was shown on PSK reporter in 
Japan by 2 stations.  During this time EA, CT , CT3, CU , EA8 still 
coming in.

Hope the E clouds will hold up for tomorrow.  Scout motto... Be 
Prepared.    73
