Topband: Huge NA-EU opening last night

[Tim Shoppa]

There was a huge NA-EU 160M opening last night and I was surprised to work
50 Europeans on one night, outside a contest. I'm sure that 160M veterans
can tell me of working 1000 on a good night, but this was great for me. I'm
surprised there were that many Europeans awake before their dawn! Including
Russians and Ukranians too.

It was a little different than the "Belgium-specific" opening I found a few
months ago, this one seems to have been all across Europe. There was a good
hour when the DL's, ON's, OK's were loud like regional stations on 80M and
there were a couple loud Ukranians too.
