Condx improved a bit. Managed a few JAs today at our sunrise on 14 MHz. That path normally lands in JA and then the next skip is into VK. Have actually been working VKs more than normal, as though the skip distances are changed by the condx, missing JA but still landing on VK. The path has produced stunning results before but not at the moment :-| BTW, Hiro was juuuuuust audible on 21 MHz yesterday here, but I doubt he was workable [he was up at abt 21.045, I think, and in QSO].
