[EIDXA] work some DX!

[Joe Hetrick]

So, a couple of things that may get some folks QRV (and get those Marathon totals climbing!)!

	Condx have been really great on high bands.  This morning I was chugging along doing a CWOps CWT, running on 10M at about 13:50Z.  All of a sudden I stopped having CWOps call and started having eastern europe, loud.  So, I abandoned the CWTest and ran EU for about 20 minutes, with 100W to my low tribander.  I've been noticing this lately at about the same time, but I hadn't ever had such a good run until this morning.

	This afternoons CWT (they're 1 hour sessions: see http://www.cwops.org) CWT at 1900, I had VU2PTT *call me* on 20M.  I was having difficulty copying VU2 and not VA2, because my ears wouldn't let me believe I was hearing a VU2..  I let Prasad know he was solid into 0-land, and I saw that he moved up and started running and got spotted..

	Don't forget CQ WW CW is this weekend, and there is all kinds of stuff on CW warming up; go work some DX before all the working stiffs get home and clog up the bands!

73 and Happy Thanksgiving!
