[SEDXC] 6 M DX REPORT EM73

[Mike Greenway]

WOW what a day.  Around 12:45 GMT it opened to EU and it roared with big 
signals until around 16:30 GMT.  Countries heard here. /S means 
several.  DL/S, PA/S, G/S, YO, F, ON/S, GW/S, EI, I, UT/S, MD/S, OZ/S, 
LA/S, GI, SM, S5/S, LY, GM, EA6, OH0.  Worked about 59 stations during 
the morning.  Band died/ around 16:30.  Quiet most of the afternoon but 
around 2100  GMT it opened again to northern EU with strong signals.  
Stations heard OZ/S, LA/S,TF/S. SM/S, ES/S, YL/S. G, SP/S,UT/S, OH0, OH, 
EI, SV, SV9.  That ran until around 2300 GMT.  While that was going on 
some JA stations were coming through.  Turned to JA and worked some of 
them until around 0000.  Possibly other stations around town heard some 
that I didn't.

Once during the morning run I did go down and check the CW band and 
there was not a single DX station there.  At one point I decoded 47 EU 
in one sequence.  Everyone in town was on the hunt for something new and 
many worked new countries today.  Several of us being grid hunters 
worked many new ones.  Maybe we get lucky and hear another one like 
today but normally you dont see two in a row.
