I had a good opening to NA.Any signals were strong as local EUs.
Near San Francisco, it wasn't great. There were a lot of east coast atations spotted I never heard, and the big guns were all beaming EU. I heard W1SJ just above my noise, and he wasn't listening my way at all. And then he went to bed. So I missed VT.
My full-wave Beverage hasn't heard EU for several years. Only during the solar minima did I hear 8 EU stations on CW over 5 years, and only two heard my legal limit to a 100 ft Tee vertical with a lot of long radials.
