I am very calm Bruce.
All I did was ask questions and presented some facts & results from some
searches I did.
If you say you heard a VY0 CQing on 160m and did not write down his call nor
remember it, who am I to say
what happened in your shack?
Yes, I have experienced spotlight propagation on all bands from 2m through
160m. Some quite unbelievable.

Calm yourself Mike. It happened. I can see why not to post weak unusual
signals. Ever heard of spotlight propagation.

The RBN Shows tons of hits for UY0ZG CQing on 1826.9/1827 around 0500z +/-
Just tossin’ it out there.
A VY0 on 160m is very rare.

Mike,
Did not write down his complete call, Strange propagation, no one called him.
No explanation. Only posted it in case someone wanted to listen on that freq
tonight. Listened many times it was very readable, and it was a Vy zero. Did
not call him. Having some transmitter prob, Q3 in the K3 is shorted. trying to
get a signal out is a chore. Looking for a Temp cure..

Bruce,
Callsign? did you work him?
There are no RBN Skimmer hits
nor any DX cluster spots when searched on DXscape.
nor any VY0 mentioned on the ON4KST chat page w/I the last 2 days.
Tnx
Mike VE9AA
There was a VY0 calling CQ on 1826.5 last evening. Looked it up as an
afterthought and its very far north in Canada. Unfortunately he did
not get any callers.
If someone has a 1930's Amateur Radio Call Book they would like to
donate, or sell please email me directly.
