Topband: Not so Boring Report

[Tree]

I knew the band would be nice to me on my birthday.  Came up into the 
shack around 0220Z, and the first signal I tune in is UA3TCJ calling
CQ.  I wouldn't work him until later - but it instantly indicated this
was going to be a fun evening.  

RA4LW was up the band and I could hear his callsign twice.  Vlad is
pretty far east - 8900 km away - but eventually he peaked up and we
completed the QSO.  He made a present for me with this:

OH3XR made it in the log shortly after, and then I called OH0PM a few
times - and got spotted by JW5NM doing it.  Kewl!!  I eventually got
both stations in the log.  I heard UA3AB calling JW5NM when I was, and
he came back to one of my CQs later.  I finally got UA3TCJ in the log 
a whole hour after I initially heard him.  

Nothing heard from the 9G or YO. 

Probably missed some other stuff due to the necessary apperance downstairs
eating cake and watching a movie.  Band seemed dead at 0620 when I got
back in the shack.

I had never seen the aurora displays so quiet.
