It's a matter of how the operator is able to handle the pile up,
a good operator can usually get the Europeans to stand by!
Had the VU4's did it the same way as the KP5's, there would
not have been many US-stations in the log.

It was just too late, it gets dark here early in the winter, not
many hours of daylight - so I still have my feeling that the
operators didn't know much of propagations!

There is a difference between south, east, central and north
Europe, at the time I started copying him good on 30 meters
he went QRT... But, you are right, he did work other parts of
Europe earlier.

K3LP/KP5 spent considerable amount of time trying to work Europe
in 17 meters this morning and gave up in disgust because of all
the misbehavior and impossibly weak signals.
I heard N3KS/KP5 work quite a few Europeans on 30 meters last
night ... listening specifically for Europeans for extended
periods several times during the night.
Now you know how NA/SA feel when Europe monopolizes the pile-ups
for 1A, HV0 and much of the rare DX from the Africa/Indian
Ocean.
