[W7RH]

Perhaps some should not be so fast to judge. At my station in Arizona it 
is possible to hear Africa and Europe 1-2 hours before sunset in the 
right conditions. Although extremely rare.

This morning I worked 6 stations CW beaming NW low power in zones 23,16 
and 15. They were: JT1CO, SM5EDX, UT2IV, LA1MFA, RA4LW and SM2EKM. These 
QSOs were 10-12 hours different from my normal path. This was my best 
opening westward in 45 years on 160m. Vlad, RA4LW was so strong for a 
short period I would have called him a local.

Regarding RBN: many are easily overloaded by a local. For me I almost 
never get spotted in EU or Asia yet I continue to work them.

Anything can happen during solar minimum and Winter Solstice.
