[OKDXA] EU DX this AM

[John Geiger]

Anyone else catch the excellent 6 meter opening to EU this morning?  This opening was unusual for a few reasons:

1. It was deep into Europe, as stations in LY, SV, 9A and E7 were being worked.

2. The stations that were working the above were in 5 and 7 land, not the normal 1 and 2 land working them.

3. The opening was also into high latitude areas in EU, like SM and OH.  That seems unusual on long haul Es.

I worked 2 stations, DK1MAX and SM5CES which both had decent signals.  The DK1 was CQing with no takers!  They are both new countries for me on 6m.  Before this, the only DX I had worked on 6m this Es season was VE, XE, and VP5.  I would have never believed that my first two new countries of the year would be Germany and Sweden, 2 countries I have never heard on 6m before.
