I can confirm that the propagation has been good enough from the UK on 20m
also. A couple of weeks back we spent a week in the Outer Hebrides solely to
play radio (helped being on an island with antennas optimised for low angle
radiation) and we worked Japan (never heard a pileup from JA before) New
Zealand, Australia, Borneo, etc etc. We did not have a great takeoff to the
west so contacts in that direction were limited but we did work the west
coast of the USA several times including Alaska. All of this was on SSB with
no more than 100W.
We more than doubled our last year's QSO total, notching up 4500 contacts.
Sadly non on Elecraft radios as I didn't take my K2 along.
