Topband: VE6WZ at sunset in Ukraine

[VE6WZ_Steve]

Hi Nick,

Yes it was great to have a nice EU opening at my sun-rise.  I worked Alex along with 16 other EU at or before EU Sunset beginning at 1209z.
After working a number of the usual Asia suspects as well as BD4WN I decided to switch to Omni TX and set the RX array to EU and straight north.
First in the log was SM5EDX almost 1 hour before his SS. He was in full daylight he said.  Here is who made it in the log, most with the RX via North, but a few were better via EU. I was using the Flex 6600, Acom 2000A, 2 el TX array and diversity RX. (beverage arrays and 9 circle)

SM5EDX
LA1MFA
OG2M
LA7DFA
RN3CT
SM4DHF
OH6NUW
OH2IS
RN3CT
OH3XR
RA4RT
ES3BMC
ES3BM
UR5AS
OH5BM
UX1AA

I also worked Ales UR5AS about 9 hours later via the usual evening VE6 EU path which was fun.
There is a recording of my QSO with Alex along with a number of others here (you need headphones…afterall…this is TB DXing:

Conditions have been excellent on TB over the last few weeks with 20-30 EU logged each evening here at VE6WZ via the polar path.
Lets hope things hold for the contest this weekend.  Watch out for the morning EU polar path!
