Kinda weird. Relatively quiet on the higher bands for long-distance DX, but tonight 3 hours after sunset on East Coast, worked E51M on 15, FK8DD and A35XG on 12, and FK8CE on 10. My QTH is North Carolina, hex beam at 42 feet, 500 watts, Flex 3000. Can't remember the last time I worked any long-distance DX (>5000 miles) on 10 meters into Pacific that late after sunset (3 hours after sunset). My electronic log says 1982, but I have some paper logs from West Coast operation in 1979 when I was able to work JA around midnight Pacific on 10. But that was 1979, and I was right near the ocean...
For 12 meters, last time I worked Pacific that late after sunset was in 2010. So...something is happening, just not sure what it is. Paul, what are your operating parameters?
