Tree,

We are at a sunspot maximum? 10M sure as heck didn't get the memo.

There was a whole bunch more DX on 160 last nite than on 10 today! And that's 
fine by me!

Hi all.

Until a few nights ago - I still hadn't worked any Europoeans this season.
That changed on Wednesday night when I got 4 Europeans in the log.  I would
have had another one on Thursday night - but my TX antenna had developed a
water short in the control cable and was beaming south when I thought I was
TXing to the north.  Missed RA4LW.

However, Vlad heard me on Friday morning when I figured out the problem and
called him using my E/W direction.  This morning, I worked OH3XR about an
hour before sunrise.  It's very unusual to work the morning opening during
a sunspot maximum - but we'll keep trying and see how it pans out over the
next couple of weeks.
