Topband: VE6WZ mid season report

[VE6WZ_Steve]

Here is a 160m mid November report on the trans-polar European conditions and activity from VE6WZ.  Generally conditions and CW activity have been good.
If you haven’t been listening to 160m CW lately, maybe check it out! (assuming the geo-mag has settled down)

Here are some stats from a VE6WZ log export for the 4 months from mid-August till Nov8. (all CW mode)
 
465 	EU QSOs
116 	Unique callsigns
26 	EU DXCC entities
 
Here is the breakdown of the EU country QSO count .  Perhaps this is activity level, or maybe just propagation bias into VE6? (it seems like there is a lot of CW activity from Sweden!)
