This morning I caught my old friend Elvin, JA3CZY on 40m at 1120Z. He was 30 / 9 in Panama! Elvin lost all of his antennas in super typhoon Jebi in September 2018 and just got the big, rooftop system rebuilt completely. It was great to hear him again. I alerted Mike, W9MK and Elvin was 10 /9 in the North Land.
I checked 75m & 160m at 0500Z today. A couple of European stations on 75m SSB and a few on 160m FT8. I worked 10 stations on 160 and 10 on 75m FT8 before going back to bed at 0615. I am up to 85 "countries" worked on 160m, thanks to FT8 ... since my last CW contact was in 1958. );-())
JQ2SIX has been around S7 at my sunrise on 3796. Weak for me ... the new "normal" I guess. LU6FL, Coco, was loud on 3799 at 1025Z on the 2nd and the VK/ZL morning path has been fair, off & on.
73 & good DX! Jay, HP3AK
