Last night I was surprised to be able to work SM0GNU, UR0MC, HA8JI, and almost worked IZ4ZZB from my central CA QTH. Especially UR0MC in zone 16 who gave me a 599 report. I don't think I have worked that zone since the ARRL 160 contest during the last SS minimum. All signals had slow deep QSB. I had to listen on the TX vertical as I don't presently have anything beaming EU, although I'm working on it.
