Cndx have been ok but with sometimes deep qsb that all but makes a
station that was strong at first all but disappear. 

QSOs in the W3HKK log include: OM2XW - OK1CF - F5IN - DG1CMZ - SM5EDX
- DL8LAS
 the last two nights, plus another 8 stations hearing my CQs on the
RBN. 

A few spots have been seen for the &Q& dxpedition from US stns along
the East Coast. but no copy here.

All in all, the spotlight opening phenomena is clear.....2-3-4-5
stations on at once time. Tune in 30 minutes later and hear another
2-3-4 different stations. And 30 minutes later more of the same.

Sigs have been peaking 559-569 against a background noise level here
in central Ohio of S0.

Station: IC7610 to ACOM 1000 ( usually 800w) and a 16m /52' tall INV-L
hung in a walnut tree sloping to the east at a final ht of 15ft. 26
radials of #17 alum fence wire or #14 jacketed copper wire between
130' and 25', averaging 65 ft. The RX antenna is a SAL-30 pyramid of
phased loops.

160M DXCC: 176/156
