Hello Roger

Well, Monday night had very good conditions. There were hardly any 
stations on, but those that were  sounded great. I worked a DL station 
who was QRP, and he was peaking at 559. Then ON4WW called me and said he 
was running 1 watt. He was 559 also! He was over S9 when he ran his KW!  
G3PQA was also there on Monday, and we both went down to 1 watt and 
actually heard each other pretty well, maybe not Q5 all the time, but Q4 
with a bit of fading.  That has not happened in quite awhile.This all 
happened right after the K index went to 5!! Things degraded a bit since 
then.  I hope to be on for Wednesday. I am making another beverage wire 
for Bouvet and possible long path attempts to the SE.
