After watching and drooling over the reports of the past few days
where the mainland is working DX like 20 meters,  the propagation
gods have moved to the Pacific.

Today I arose and hit the button at 1500Z and right there on the dial
was OH3XR calling CQ,  579 signal,  I thought it was a pirate at first,
I tuned down a few KHZ and called CQ,  worked as many as I could
pull out of the QSB and QRN crashes,  38 EU stations and some
were 579 or better signals, amazing,  sounded like 2008, 2009
conditions,   About 15 mins after sunrise I heard T6LG calling CQ
and he came back on my first call,  no new ones worked but quite
a few new callsigns.    Also TF4M called in which was quite a
surprise to hear Thor.

Makes all the "blank" days worth while.   73 Aloha Merv K9FD/KH6
