Conditions on 160 from here in the Midwest were dreadful.  I could never hear Roger, G3YRO, well enough to even call.  Other EU beacons like OK1CF were just detectable.  Conditions to Asia weren't any better. . .I never did work a JA on 160.   I still had a good time.

Yes! Signals from EU were huge on 160 for many hours both nights. I had to
peer at my radio dial a few times just to be sure I wasn't accidentally on
80 or something. 80 was great too.

How far west in US/Canada did you work, Roger?

Well conditions to NA from EU were pretty good over the weekend.

I came on 160m for a couple of hours on Friday Night, and again on Saturday
night . . .

Managed to work a total of 132 NA stations, which I was really pleased
with.

That included lots of people that I had never worked before . . . but what
saddens me, is why these people don't come on Top Band when there ISN'T a
Contest !
