Europe is tough in New Mexico, but last evening for about an hour after sunset (0100Z-0200Z) I worked G3YRO, SM5EDX, and OR18TLS. As often happens, signals were barely copyable when I worked them, with deep QSB, but got stronger later, peaking 569-579. W7RH lives in a neighboring state and always seems to hear better than I do. Pretty humbling, actually! I was listening on a 720 ft beverage and transmitting on a 70ft base-loaded vertical with sixty 120 ft radials. Radio was a Flex 6500 and hb amp. Band was nice and quiet for a change. 73, Jim w8zr
