[ADXA] 30M Long Path to SE Asia

[Pat Patterson]

There was a nice 30M long path opening to SE Asia yesterday (Friday)
afternoon late (23:00 - 23:40 UTC) on 30M. On FT8 I worked DS1JFY , DS5USH,
3W3B and 9M2CNC.  I noticed Earl, N5ZM making Qs also.  Most were pretty
strong on long path with no decode on short path.  I have a SteppIR DB18E
that can do 180 in about 4 seconds...very cool in an opening like this.  My
amp is in Austin so these were all with 100W (QRO on FT8!).  CW would have
been supported but I didn't see any and didn't notice any spots of CW
activity.

I sent a note to Bruce, 3W3B, and he said it was a great opening for him
into central NA....he usually only works W6/W7's in the mornings.

Listen up Saturday...it might happen again.

73,
Pat, W5VY
