Topband: CONDX CQWW DR5X

[Michael Tope]

There was an insanely good opening from here in Southern California to 
Europe this evening (Sunday UTC) starting around 0600 UTC. It lasted a 
little over 15 minutes. Signals were Q5 and stations came back to me on 
the first or second call. It was surreal. I worked 8 European stations, 
all new multipliers, in that short period. I've experience openings like 
this to Europe before, but I don't think I've ever experienced one this 
good in the middle of CQ 160. When the opening ended, it was like 
someone flipped a switch and conditions were back to normal.

I should say that I was lucky to be operating in the assisted category. 
I stumbled on to the first station European station while tuning and 
then I started clicking on spots to work the rest. And to think I almost 
opted to take a nap before the opening.
