[SEDXC] 15 M LONG PATH FT8

[K4PI]

I know this may sound like a tall tale with the flux still down at 74 
but it is true.  This morning I got into the shack around 8:30 AM local 
and thought I would check 15 M FT8 as it has been being open to EU and 
ME during the morning.  On JT Alert up pops 3W1T working EU along with 
tons on EU.  I move the antenna to short path expecting that to be the 
path.  I called him for a long time but he was not hearing me as he 
would work a couple of EU then call CQ a couple of times.  I noticed he 
worked a couple of SA so I thought maybe he is coming long path.  I 
moved down to the SE long path and after one call he came back and we 
worked.  As soon as I gave him 73,  XX9ET called me and we completed.  I 
thought may as well call a CQ AS and after a couple of calls VR2VAZ came 
back.  I called a few more time with no result and I had to take off to 
do some tower work so could not stay around. The DX mornings don't get 
any better than that.  The A and K have been hovering around 2 and 0,  2 
and 1 so things are good for the amount of flux we have.  73 Mike K4PI
