Topband: Spotlight on VE3??

[VE3MGY]

Good day all

The spotlight was certainly shining on VE3 this morning. RZ0AF was Q5 copy 
here for 45 minutes! He would be 519-529 and then after about 40 seconds QSB 
to 219-319 for about 3-4 minutes, but never into the noise, before the cycle 
repeated. On and on it went until at 1057z when he went to a 559 on his peak 
and I worked him for a new DXCC and Zone [ through some QRM ]. The funny 
thing was that I had no one else on frequency calling him for about 35 
minutes - even though he had been spotted. It must have been either a narrow 
example of  spotlight propagation or eveyone was sleeping in hi hi.

He was best on the 360 bev so it was a true polar opening. A few times 
during the opening he was briefly copyable and all the bevs when his signal 
must have went high angle, as was mentioned yesterday.
