WOW! Conditions this morning were reminiscent of 1997! 

Lots of EU on when I awoke from my nap at 0620Z. I *finally* 
worked San Marino (T77C) after being shut out for it in 
several seasons. 

Most interesting QSOs were the *simultaneous* QSOs with PY2FUS
and SM5EDX, who were CQing on precisely the same frequency (1833.6)
at 0658Z. I threw in my call to the pile calling, and both answered! Both
worked, although not as gracefully as I would have liked. They did not
hear each other.

I hope these conditions hold up for the Stew Perry this coming
weekend!
