I didn't listen to him for very long. Woke up @ 1145Z (before the 12Z alarm) and
went into the shack. I saw him spotted listening up 2. I gave two calls up 2
and he came right back. He was about 579 IIRC. I saw lots of callers on the
bandscope but I didn't stick around so I can't say what condx were really doing.

This morning I saw T31EU posted many times on DXSCAPE on 160 so I turned on the
rig to listen for him...at 1305 he was 20 over S9 but within a minute he had
faded out completely..strangely enough I could not hear any of the stations
calling him...within another couple of minutes his signals were back up and I
noticed that he several times called stations who never came back to him..This
pattern seemed to persist for the remainder of the morning until he faded out
completely around 14:40.. Spaceweather.com reports a pending geomagnetic storm
but nothing unusual at the time I was listening..there has been a prolonged
period of over 20 days of zero sunspots so that probably has something to do
with it..I do not think I will ever understand 160 meter propagation but that
is one of the things that makes it so interesting
