I was pleased to hear/work Harry this morning at 1323 UT (about 5 minutes before local SR) while running 100W into a "lazy L" with 32 radials -- receiving with the same antenna. The exchange was 559 both ways -- perhaps a bit optimistic. BUT, a few minutes later, Harry's sigs briefly (90 seconds, tops) peaked at a genuine 579. WOW! The band seemed to collapse here by about 1335 UT, but it was a VERY enjoyable opening while it lasted.
