Darn, and I was calling him on 144,033! No wonder he couldn't hear 
me. I must have not paid attention to the QSX because I was busy 
putting dots in my 18MHz QSL's !

Seriously though, it is good to hear real long haul conditions back 
again. Let's hope it keeps up! I wonder what path west coast 
stations are hearing Europe?
