As they say the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. 

Have had both in the past week on top band,  several good
openings to EU etc. 

Highlights snagging T33, HS0, VU4, P29, TO5 for new ones,

Agony was today hearing A43DLH over 579 for 45 minutes
and not able to raise even a ?? from him.  At first thought he
was a pirate he was so loud.  Sunrise path to A4 was just
phenomenal this morning. 

Hearing the P29 2 hours after my sunrise on top band with
many JA calling him.  4300 miles (6900km) from here but
of course mostly water.  Still quite interesting.  A43 was
still copyable an hour after my sunrise.

Was nice opening to EU a couple days,  wkg SM, OM,
IV3, G3, SP5, UA4, UA3, UW2, etc.  may sound like
old stuff to most but realize I am 3600 miles from w6 so
take more hops more propagation more power to reach
the pacific black hole so to speak. 

Been a very nice season already.   73 Merv K9FD/KH6
