Topband: EXCEPTIONAL EUROPEAN PATH

[BILL MCHUGH]

>From about 0500 to 0545 this AM, European signals were so loud that they
made some NA signals (mainly to the south) appear as if THEY were the DX!
Several were worked with 599 both ways and it appears that the path extended
as far west as Utah but perhaps not too far south.

My QTH is southwestern Ontario and even 5 watts made the trip this AM, as I
heard at least one QRP station in QSO.  It was nice to hear lots of activity
from YL, UA, LA , OK, SM, OM, and LZ among others. Beverage antennas were
not required on this one!
