Topband: Odd (?) Propagation this Wednesday AM

[K9FD]

Yesterday ayem  5H3 was on for over an hour,  he was -10 here yet an 
hour and half after sunrise,
he had peaked several times around sunrise at +0
This morning was 3B8M on for a couple hours,  same thing, copy great 
after sunrise,  as was VU2
and a number of others.
JA of course very strong as well as UA9 etc.   heard a few EU stations 
before sunrise.
So far so good on the low cycle.
