ARRL CW this weekend.
Enjoyed finding 40m open to the USA quite late this morning, with a couple of stations workable in Montana around 1000z. They were louder than the East Coast, which when you think about it makes sense, as they are further into the darkness path. (Was using the dipole on 40 as the winds have been reasonably high this week)
Other than that, 10 and 15m seemed quite poor towards mid and western North America.
Pleased to pick up the KP5 on 10 and 12m FT9 around lunchtime. Better signals than seen before - suspect they were running more power today.
9Q5ZZ was a new WAFOCC too.
No sign of TZ1CE on 6m today. Apart from early signals from CT - very little on 6m at all.
Pleased to pick up both the KP5 and HD5MW/8 on 15m in the evening. Had heard them both on 10m earlier on, but didn't get anywhere in the pileups!
TZ1CE heard on 6m again around lunchtime but didn't stay in through the afternoon.
TZ1CE huge signal in afternoon - could hear him +5 when beaming west!
KP5 audible on 20m last night, but already in log. As it turned out, it wasn't AD5A operating so wouldn't have been new WAFOCC.. Listened to 80m QSO with M0MZB talking about using Quansheng on 2m CW.
KP5 heard on 10m FT8 at lunchtime - vanished - probably would have been workable - but big pileup.
Bit of activity in the CQ WW WPX RTTY this afternoon. Spent the morning writing PW VHF column. Pleased to hear that people have been moved to try the Quansheng on VHF CW after a couple of mentions in the column. Pleased to have worked KP5 on 40m last night.
28MHz closed around 1800z
