It is hard to believe, but we are still getting outstanding propagation at
the end of July!  I guess the E layer can't read a calendar very well.
Tuesday started out like the previous day, with loud and long openings to
the SE US from Oklahoma.  I had someone nice ragchews today as the signals
were strong with little or no fading for extended periods of time.

Then, just like Monday, the DX started coming in around 4pm local.  While I
was seeing spots for 2m Es happening from KS, MO, and TX to Florida (and
hearing none here), I caught EA8CQS on CW to finish off my 6m WAC!  I also
heard CU2JT and CT1HZE on, but already have QSLs from both of them.  Still,
it was pretty exciting to hear EU coming thru this late in the year.  CT1HZE
was so loud I was copying him with no problem on 50.125 SSB.  

I never did hear TG9NX, although it looks like most of the rest of the
country did. I still need TG for a new country on 6m.

Let's see what Wednesday will bring.  I figure it can't be as good as
Tuesday, but then I said that late Monday evening also, and was proven
wrong!
