This morning was very interesting.  At 14:30 I turned on the RX and 
heard a UA9 calling someone.  After switching from NW to SW he peaked 
dramatically.  Within a few minutes I worked OH3BU UA9CDC RA3DOX, UA4RZ 
and several others. Thought I heard VQ9DX again but much weaker than the 
other day.  The opening lasted for about 20 minutes. The amazing thing 
to me is that they were coming right over the LP direction and were 
totally inaudible Short Path.  Although I have worked many EU at around 
the same time in past years, they came in over Asia (NW) on a skewed 
path.  This was definitely true long path. A point of correlation: 80M 
LP was wide open this morning, best this year with signals well over 
S-9.  73,  Bob
