Woke up early this morning (0525 UTC) and saw numerous stations on my waterfall so turned up the volume and heard a bunch of familiar calls calling CQ (OT4A, G3PQA, G3YRO, G4EIM, G3OLB and a station in France). Most stations heard about 30 minutes before UK sunrise and I did work John (G3PQA) 30 minutes before his sunrise and he got considerably stronger after I worked him.
I'm located near Indianapolis running 100 watts and glad to see decent 160 meter band conditions into the Midwest US from Europe with low QRN levels as the only lightning activity in the US this morning was off the coast of Florida. Just FYI, Don (wd8dsb) _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
