Hi Dietmar
Was able to make a CW contact with ZL1AZ at his SS, 0715 UTC Thursday.
I am in Northern New Jersey so an 8900 mile 2 way QSO to New Zealand.

Interestingly, conditions on the west coast seemed pretty good this
morning around our sunrise. I was able to decode HS5NMF between -8 and
-5 and 9M6NA got as high as +1. I suspect both could have been heard

BrianThank you very much to you and the team for hanging in there right up to
your SR. Solar conditions were not favourable today and propagation stopped 500
miles east of UK with a good run in to Germany around 1730z then appeared to

Steve, thanks again for your fantastic work! For those of us who have
beverages in the forest, this is a great improvement in beverage
maintenance. Though moving 300-400' of trees (per BOG) and chopping off
