JA here at sunrise were 599,  but by that time not many around,  heard some weak UA4,  RA9 etc,  but not much activity,    Saw strong signal up in the FT-8 band and did not bother to tune up there,  30 mins after sunrise it was still there so out of curiosity I turned on FT-8 and there was A41ZZ

Hello Mark, Glad you caught it! That is a wonderful day for the northeast! I was up at 1115UT this AM,  as the dog wanted to go out, and I pondered whether to trudge out to my barn and get on 160. I had been up until 1 AM re working an old 75A4 and a PTO and was exhausted. I decided to go bac

This morning was surreal. I couldn't sleep so I got up around 0900Z, had a cup of coffee, read for a while, then went down to the shack. I worked 3D2AG on 80M CW and was listening to him put in a very nice signal to the east coast while I did some email correspondence. I QSY'd to 160M around
