Quick update

We are so overwhelmed and exhausted with the recent cx's that we just shortly report here what has been going on lately;

Thursday:

After the great cx the day before we didn´t expect that much of the next day - in fact we were kind of hoping a bit quieter day, so that we could catch up and recover from our sleep deprivation.

To be honest we don´t have a clear picture what happened on the band, but according to our logbooks and quick bandscans, not much. Signals were audible again before 21 UTC, but nothing worth mentioning was noted.

In the morning after decent sleeps we found full bands length of stations booming in with very strong signals, mainly from MN-MT. Non-stop cx until 16 UTC. Best catches of the day were 560-WEBC, 610-KDAL, 640-WOI, 750-KHWG, 800-KBRV, 840-KKNX, 1340-KWVR, 1400-KBJM and 1400-KXGN, but we haven't checked so many TOH-ids today.

Couple of updates to yesterday's catches; 1200-KYAA (tnx OJS for hint!) and 1280-KQLL.

Friday:

Again very similar early evening on the band. Much promises but after all nothing gained. Noticeable thing was that PR-stations were heard widely on the band even before 22 UTC. At 21.30 UTC some interesting stations fading up and down (like; 870-CFSX, 1020-WURN, 1040-WYSL etc.), but the band died before 22 UTC - or at least the interesting stations faded out. After that again some serious sleeping.

In the morning and whole day mostly dominants (plus 1230-WSOO, 1450-KZZJ) with good signals and again strong signals from the WC (= West Coast, not the actual WC) later on, mostly same stations than earlier days (plus 800-CKOR, 820-KUTR, 1150-KSEN, 1280-CBQG, 1300-KACI etc.).

Cx continued non-stop so that there was still over half dozen AK-stations audible when NL started to crowl in. The sky was filling with northern lights ...
