Both mornings the skip went long and Eastcoast stations had a lot lof fading
- much like 40m! During that time nice multipliers like VE7FPT and KL7RA were
worked.  Northern and Western Europe was working stations I could not even
guess. Still propagation is much different there, even when conditions are as
good as they have been.

Everytime I CQ'ed outside the DX window the rate dropped immediately. It's
hard to be recognized there between the W/VE stations. As a result the window
was so crowded that there never was something like a clear CQ frequency.
