Topband: Propagation Tuesday evening

[Paul Kelley N1BUG]

I found noteworthy conditions for the second day in a row. As is 
typical for me, certain polar and near polar paths (UA0, JA SP) seem 
to have been wiped out by a modest increase in geomagnetic activity 
while other challenging paths have been given new life.

UK8DAN was 100% readable for over 30 minutes and peaked 579 for 10 
minutes during the middle of that time. This is the best I have ever 
heard Serge. I finally got him in the log after several seasons 
trying. My QSO was at 2325 and the best peak came shortly 
thereafter. Serge did work a few other NA.

After several weeks trying I was finally able to copy 3B8CF, 
resulting in an easy QSO for a new one.

9K2MU was stronger than usual, peaking S9+ at times.

Signals from Europe were mostly average to perhaps slightly above 
average at times.
