Interesting propagation from several locations on 20M caused very

at all. One example was about 1800Z Sunday for signals from anywhere
NE USA
and eastern Canada (that is, W1, W2, W3, VE1, VE2, VE3). Around
2200Z I was
hearing it on a few JA stations. I'm about 70 miles S of San
Francisco and
use wire dipoles, so I don't have directivity to protect me from
secondary
arrivals.
I also had this happening to me, with EU stations coming back several
paths. The was one PA (I believe) that I just gave up on, his code
just melted together to one steady carrier.
On 80 meter I had a nice run Sunday night squeezed between two
stations where the variable filtering came in handy. First I was a
little annoyed when a station sneaked up very close on me starting a
run, but after some filter tweaking I felt pretty good with my tight
spot on the band.
Overall it was a fun weekend with the K3!
My claimed score is here;
