Last night the band was in fine shape again. It sounded like there was a lot of activity from NA.
Kevin KL7KY was also working into EU.
I logged 37 EU last night with a few “new, never logged on 160m” callsigns.
5B4AJC and OX7AM both had very good signals.
A highlight was working Ash 3V8SH at 420z. Ash only runs 100w so he was not strong, but good enough for the QSO.
Unfortunately I did not have my sound file recorder running at the time, but I did take a screen shot of his trace on the Flex waterfall.
On the image I circle his trace when we QSOd, but you can “see” him calling earlier with a faint trace. Other EU CQs can also be seen across the band:

I will not be QRV for the next few days since I am travelling to visit my daughter and grand kids.
Keep the band alive….it seems like the condx have been pretty good lately, and might be FB for the contest this weekend.
