[Elecraft] [OT] WPX propagation

[Phil Hystad]

Yesterday, right after WPX started I heard a Brazil station and I responded
but he did not copy me.  He was weak and I was probably even weaker to
him.

Last night after 10 PM I heard a large number of Canadian stations, even
some in the east (e.g. VA2EW) which was a nice change from the K/W 
calls.  That was on 20 meters (~14015 area).  But, my QTH is Seattle
area and Canada, or at least part of it, is just 90 miles north.
