I turned the rig on at 0330Z on 10/21 to hear SV8ZS calling CQ with a
wonderfull 569 signal. After him, I moved onto DJ7AA, OZ7C, ON4UN,
HB0/HB9AON and IK2DEN with a incredible S9+20dB signal. After my eyes
couldn't keep open, I went off to sleep dreaming of the great band
conditions for the next morning and working the KH5.
Well, I woke up at 1130Z only to hear an empty band. Nothing was on,
not even the usuals VK's. So I tuned into the JA window and heard
JA1HQT calling CQ with a solid 579 signal. We exchanged reports and we
ended the QSO while he peaked with a 599! If the band is open so well
into JA, where is all the other DX?
