Woke up just before SR, staggered into the shack, and heard HL5IVL
peaking 569 but with deep QSB. Fired up the amp and called Kim four
times - all with no replies. Disappointed, wondering what was wrong, I
happened to notice the rig was connected to the dummy load. But by
that time, the sun was rising and Kim had faded out.

PS But it would have been a memorable QSO!

Last night pretty good prop to EU. Worked several stations. But, not
much activity.
This morning, K3ZM was waking the band up. Heard several JA and
HL5IVL call and work him. I tried CQing but got no answers (guess I
need to improve my signal!).?
But, couple JA's did call CQ as did Kim (HL5IVL) and I was able to
work them. Nice to (finally) have prop in that direction. Hoping it
continues and gets better.?
Adrian, VK2WF, was reported on but I never heard anything from him.?
Would have been interesting to hear what the far east signals sounded
like from the place I have in NM (grid DM64). Bet they were LOUD! Even
on my short beverage to the NE.?
