205AT048 was his call - Paul was his name.

I was surprise to hear him at 5:00pm here, his signal was also very good at 5/8. Nice qso for about 5 min.

Also S. Africa was in again around 11:00 am, worked 3 more stations from there.

Besides all the Ireland, Spain, UK, Scotland, etc, there wasn't much else new.

Oh - did hear a Hong Kong station in there this evening again, but he only talks to 3 stations a day, then he shuts down...........
 

You Da Man, Larry!

I did get 1SD340/Italy, "Emerald 55" Tony/Ireland, and a couple of snooty Frenchmen in div 14 that wouldn't yield for a DX call after I waited/QSK for 10 minutes. That was a first; snooty DX! Ya learn something every day . . .

Nova Scotia was in there too; but I didn't have the opportunity for that one.
 
Robb, I did also work a new div. yesterday, although it's an easy one for the guys on the east side, it was the first time for me.
141RC001 - ST. Pierre/Newfoundland

I just got confirmation back today from the RC club that he was legit.

25HF011 - Yoshi from Nagoya, Japan, was working a lot of stations yesterday afternoon.
He also worked a station in New York and a station in Detroit plus many others in the US, Mexico and S. America.

Usually around 2:00 pm, we just say "hi" to each other each day, then just move on. I usually hear him for about 1 - 2 1/2 hrs each day this past week.
 
001 in england was booming in here a few minutes ago on 38 lsb. I am still hearing lots of stations from over seas at this moment, but there a lot of other station's in their too. I hope I get lucky.
 
29TD001 Tom - Ireland
29DG007 Des - Ireland
26DT001 Tony - England
29B117 Gordon - Ireland
26FB150 Tom - England
Also a fellow from Scotland that copied me but didn't give me his call.
?

Talked to Argentina on 10m too.

Heard the Falkland Islands but couldn't get the contact.

Some of what I copied down here got smeared a little bit when I copied it to my notes, so there could well be some mistakes above. But all in all, a spectacular skip day on the West Coast of California.

Also heard someone in Ireland talking to 'Larry' here in the States - figured that it was you.

It was a little different today for sure.

I heard 4040 through the back of the beam talking to Europe today, very strong for about 40 sec then gone.

Yesterday I also heard Eli WR2811, he came through the back for about 30 sec.

So maybe it will be you tomorrow Robb.
