in all I spent about 5 hours mostly from 04:30Z to 07:00Z both nights
Signals were generally good . Unusual "spotlight" propagation Friday
Night/Saturday morn. Worked a half dozen S5xxx stations ALL with
unusually loud signals. More than one over S-9 on the BOG. While ALL
other EU's were down as is typical just above my noise floor. One S5xxxx
commented that I too was very loud.
In general things were better on a broader scale the 2nd night here in
the tropics
Did not seem to be the same level of participation as prior year. only
68 Q's in 27 countries this year vs 98 Q's in 51 countries in 2020.
This might reflect the impact of fewer multi ops and dxpeditions this
year due to CV-19 ???

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 !
