Hello All,

This evening at sunset (0030Z) European stations were heard working East
Coast USA stations. This is a relatively rare event here at 50N latitude and
indicates very low absorption conditions. The event only happens two or
three times a year. Long Path most mornings. The direction this evening also
indicates a skewed path. Signals from Europe were loudest on 090T beverage
as opposed to 075T beverage.
Cheers
Doug
