I was on for EU Sunrise on Monday night/Tuesday morning, and found condx 
excellent.  I got home from a long 12 hour road trip at 05:30 UT and 
found signals were great. I even worked SM4IVE who was one of my 144 MHz 
EME contacts back in the 1980's. It was great to work Lars on 160 
meters. You would expect to hear him on 432 or 1296 with BIG signals, so 
a 160 meter contact was unusual! Almost everyone I worked was between S7 
and S9. That includes a DL station running 40 watts and a dipole.  I 
wish I could have stayed on longer and my Sunrise, but I was exhausted 
after the trip. I will be QRV this evening and  hope that we get a 
repeat of Tuesday morning!
