guys,
Conditions to EU have been excellent this past week from Arizona. Looks like
the sunrise enhancement has finally returned. I have never seen EU with S9 plus
20 to 25 at this location in the past 30 years.
Let's hope for similar conditions for the commons contest.

I tried calling CQ on CW at around midnight local (0800z) this morning and
worked JE1CTM, G3PQA, G3OQT, and G3OLB in succession all with good signals into
Southern California. This came after an absolute bounty of European QSOs on
FT8, including a number of eastern European QSOs. HB9BIN was showing an FT8 "R"
reading peaking well over +10 (+14 I think) and he stayed consistently over +5
for quite some time. He was so strong I kept wondering if it might be someone
in the states pirating his call. There was, however, a lull earlier in the
evening where the band appeared to shut down completely to Europe (no FT8
decodes whatsoever). I was really surprised that things opened back up the way
they did.
