Normally, this wouldn't be all that exciting except he
was worked on 75M.

The QSO was with CX5BW, who has very loud with a large
pileup.  We get better conditions on 160M in the
winter, when it's summer in the southern hemisphere. 
South american stations, especially CX (Uruguay), are
pretty rare on top band.

I also heard my first ever Europeans on 160M from
California.  I had decent copy on DF2PY (Germany) and
partial copy of SP3BQ (Poland).  Apparently DF2PY was
hearing me, but I was getting QRMed by other callers
and we didn't make the QSO.  

Europe was loudest last night from the East, confirmed
by others in the area.  Interesting skew conditions!

73, Dave
