Sighhhh

One of the few things I miss about living in New England (don't miss it enough to own a snow shovel again), Is the 160/80 path to EU

My theory is LA/SM/OH and OJ0 all have a really "long" gray line. right now.

What time did you work OJ0O ?� I just finished my "prototype" N/S R-BOG today so am looking forward to losing some sleep 8^)

WE too have worked a couple of EU's and the 5T5 in the last week even down here in FL,� South America (LU/CE/CX/ YV and PY) are all nightly occurrences for the last few weeks

Hi There
Two days ago I hooked up the 160m antenna and can report that the season is off to a start - at least here it is. Two pages of Eu stations on CW, 5T5 on FT8 - and OJ0O last night also on CW - RST 599 on 1824. For some reason the LA's and SM's and OH's are the best signals at this time of year - dunno why - but all are 599 while other Eu signals are down in the 579 region or so.
Time to start looking at 160m at sunset again I guess.
GL to all this season - it should be really good given the current state of the solar cycle.
