It's interesting what can be heard, and not heard. This morning (Fri 18 Jan) between 0200 to 0300 Z the ham station RI1ANF in the South Shetland Islands (basically, Antarctica) was coming in as best as I've ever heard him, which is just 2 or 3 times. A lot of QSB but on peaks Oleg was 569 to 579 and working many stations in the US. Freq 1826.5 kc in the 160 meter hamband, CW and I was able to work him with just 400 w out to a nonoptimal 80 foot wire, tuner and small radial field. At the same time European hams on 160m were non-existant.
