Short opening - 3/16/22 Indonesia

[DXman]

Every afternoon I swing the beam into the Pacific, listening for who ever, around the 27.555 area.
At 3:00 pm I started hearing the familiar sound coming from the S.W. area, telling me there might be a opening.. Then at 3:10 (dst) a station popped in from Indonesia, we talked for about 3 minutes.

Then nothing heard for awhile except for a couple stations in New Caledonia and of course Austrialia , then around 4:00pm I heard another station from Indonesia, made contact with him for about 2 min., - I already had him in the log book from the last 2 cycles.

Short opening and first for me this year into that area.

Same here for the Aussie & S. America in the evening. Also in late afternoon I have C. America in here with strong signals. But nothing coming from the central pacific area - Marshall Is., Kiribati Is, Micronesia, etc. etc. very quite in that area.
