Hi Dave,
Great to see the band opening up for you into Asia. I really hope it’s a sign
of better conditions to come, but I think ‘ol Sol is getting a bit active these
days! With the recurring waves of geo-mag disturbances, I fear that the 27 day
rotation might keep things muted for a while!
It has been exactly 4 weeks to the day since my last trans-polar EU QSO!!
Last night I was hopeful some signals from EU would squeak over the pole, but
no luck.
Maybe tonight. Like your JA path, much of EU for me is almost directly over the
pole so the AU and solar wind really needs to cooperate.
I don’t complain, since this season since August I have logged 1,413 EU, with
338 unique call signs. All on CW.
Here is the latest Ve6wz “Top
EU repeat QSO list” for this winter.

I hope everyone enjoys the openings and gets on the band and calls CQ!
Remember...”if no one calls CQ, no one is going to work anybody”!
