Topband: ARRL 160 at VE6WZ

[VE6WZ_Steve]

Here at VE6WZ I worked 9 EU on Sunday night. Saturday was rather poor.
Trans-polar signals had tremendous deep and fast QSB making QSOs a challenge, but those I called had good ears.
Logged CT3, DL, G, HA, LY, OM, SM, UA and YL.
John SM5EDX had a tremendous signal for over an hour, with only modest QSB. DR5X also strong at times.
I heard UY0ZG with an excellent signal, for at least 3 CQ cycles, he gave me QRZ? and then he faded into oblivion.
My RBN skimmer spotted numerous EU, which only happens when signals are good.

I was only casually participating in the contest, and called CQ a few times to see if I could raise any other EU, but became overwhelmed by NA callers even with all of my RX at Europe.  All NA and Carib were strong including EC. 

The morning sessions had many strong JA, a few HL and DU, but only heard one VK that called me after a JA QSO, but it was not my QRG.
