Topband: polar route back in town

[DF2PY]

Hello reflectees !
Today the band via the polar route has been the best for the last 3 years.
Even stns "behind the corner" of auroral activity made it well into EU - VE6SV 
and VE7UZ,the latter considerably weaker.
West coast and Rocky Mtn Div. yielded 
:K6SE,K6VX,N7UA,W6RR,W7QM,W7LGG,W7XR,N7DD,N7FU,W2VJN(OR),N7JW,K0RF 
Surprising QSB effect was, that the period time of QSB was in the range of 30  
seconds.Which is desastrous for the regular exchange time in a cw QSO.
K9DX reported as well QSB depth from S9 to S zero.
The big eastcoast stns were quite weak compared to regular days, e.g. W3BGN and 
K1WV made dissappearances in the QSB ! The Southeastern US seemed to be 
underrepresented in todays opening. Additionaly the W5 area did not make it all 
2nite, very different from days before.Maybe southern latitudes had QRN from the 
Caribes.Sorry for the bandwidth,but as the condx were interesting, i considered 
a detailed description of interest for those "not in the know".

73 `s and a nice weekend to all topbanders     de wolf - df2py-
