Bob,
I was operating 20 meters and when the band closed I checked 160. This was
around 0200z. The European's were very loud. Some were S9. Worked about 20 in
10 minutes on a CQ. Lots of russia and east Europe. Band went dead after 30
minutes but came back one hour later. It was the best opening of the season for
me.
What a difference 400 miles can make.

Greetings All,
Spotty openings to Europe from the SW with one surprise contact LZ2WO just
before sunset. Otherwise 1 G4, and a few EA stations. Also Q5 at Sunset was
IK2CLB with no QSO.
After 0300 no further EU DX worked. The band went downhill rapidly. Off to bed.
In the morning only a few JA and RT0C were worked.
Regarding V84SAA. Comments on the reflector were not cool. If you are going to
work one in the contest then work them all as a multiplier is just that. Sorry
if it's a dupe. However at my Sunrise you were doing contest exchanges. IMHO
