You were a very good signal here Rick
Certainly the skip has favored Northern paths for the last several days.
We worked three Alaska stations since Friday - NL7S and KL7J on FT8 and KL7SB
on CW in the contest.
With only one CW QSO in KL7KY in 2013 it was an amazing adventure. KL7 was a

Hawaii was not that easy
Hi Nick
When we worked, your signal was weaker than normal times. But still good to get
you in the log!

Mark, K1RX

VE6 + KH6 + KL7.
Really did it - UW2M, UR5AS, UX1UA.
UW5ZO succeeded in QSO with KL7SB.
There are no others who from Ukraine could hear WC in this ARRL 160 !

using only 100 watts then. That was of course at a sunspot minimum.
We are now at the next SS minimum and this morning in the 1300Z hour,
I again worked UA3AGW who called me during the contest.
I also worked RK4FF, UD4F, RM4F,
