This snapshot of RBN spots over the last 36 hours is a little disappointing.
Is there really an international contest on?

Shucks Pete, that’s propagation for you. I snared 37 DXC in last nights session
from here in Nova Scotia with my K2AV FCP and SAL-20 or new SGA, (Shared Ground
Array) beta version from Mark. Running just 600 watts. Many, many, did I say
many? US stations could not hear the EU DX and plopped on
Hi Peter
Signals from Europe were not strong but I worked over 50 counties on the
first night. Few days ago Eddy XV1X signal was very good "long path" really
SSW-SSW, CW solid 559, and just yesterday morning several station on the
east coast worked XV1X on FT8. JT1CO is active, BY, HL JA's, 3W1T.
No, just an error of understanding on my part. I did a lookup for the
last 36 hours, but the map only plots the last 100 spots, something that
I should have realized but hadn't. Apologies to everyone.

Noticed what sounded like a below average number of stations on the
air last night. BUT heard a couple dozen Euros on from 2200z-z
which was a pleasant surprise. However, it was very tough to make it
through the European QRM they were hearing. Things got a bit better
later in the evening, but
I wouldn't say conditions were GOOD last night, as the NA big guns are
normally several S units stronger over here, but they were OK.
I didn't get home from work til 0330Z last night (doing extra gigs for a
couple of weeks)
But I came on for just over an hour and managed to work 35 NA
If some and some dont, you still get out of area callers..

Many poor operators in Europe do not respect an area CQ, especially on CW.
On SSB Many poor operators in Europe wont even respect a DX station when he
calls for a specific prefix or suffix, why would they respect an area CQ ?

What's wrong with calling CQ [AREA]?
e.g.
CQ DX
CQ NA
CQ SA
CQ ...
And if you get called by a EU, just ignore it.
