guys,
Conditions to EU have been excellent this past week from Arizona. Looks like
the sunrise enhancement has finally returned. I have never seen EU with S9 plus
20 to 25 at this location in the past 30 years.
Let's hope for similar conditions for the commons contest.

I tried calling CQ on CW at around midnight local (0800z) this morning
and worked JE1CTM, G3PQA, G3OQT, and G3OLB in succession all with good
signals into Southern California. This came after an absolute bounty of
European QSOs on FT8, including a number of eastern European QSOs.

What sort of time were your QSOs Rick? (will look out for you tonight)

FB Rick,
Its great to see the band opening up further south.
The strange thing (as usual for 160m) is during the last solar min (~2009-11)
it was more common for the guys down south and CA to be getting the good prop,
while I sat on the bench with no signals. I wont even try to explain it, but
It was pretty remarkable here in S AZ.
I worked UR0MC, LA1MFA and SM0GNU (new for me) and heard some others. Always on
my inverted-L.
UR0MC was readable for over an hour. QSB was huge

Last night I was surprised to be able to work
SM0GNU, UR0MC, HA8JI, and almost worked IZ4ZZB
from my central CA QTH. Especially UR0MC in
zone 16 who gave me a 599 report. I don't
think I have worked that zone since the ARRL
160 contest during the last SS minimum.
All signals had slow deep QSB.
