[ADXA] CY9C on 6m August 6th, Tuesday

[EJ]

Excellent!  Were you planning to go on this expedition?  Any reason they chose to go later in summer rather than closer to solstice?  The openings in late June would probably have been hours instead of seconds

August 6th a Tuesday at 2241Z, 5:41 PM our time but was working guys there on SSB for a least an hour before I think, those with a shorter single hop to CY9C, many 4/3/2/1 stations, then 8/9/0 later. Oh, there were other QSOs on freq with a loud W7 working other USA stations several minutes! I asked him politely to move up 2 and he did.

Congratulations on new one!  What was day and time of day of QSO?  I listened on weekends but during week days just had my radio on FT8 during working hours.  Had a lot of east coast prop but never good conditions that far east
