The year started with some great expeditions including TX3D (Australs), VP8DMN (Falkland), T32BJ (Christmas Island -the one in the Pacific), XROZA (Juan Fernandez), PYOXB/PYO (Fernando do Noronha), etc. In the week leading to the CQWW 160 CW contest a typical night's Cluster spots on 160 looked more like what you might expect on 20m -JT1CO, PY2XB/PY0, C6ANM, XU7ACY, 9M2AX, VP8DMN, TX3D, ST2AR, XROZA, ZF2BJ, PJ2/W8WTS, OY6FRA and various JAs, as one typical example, all workable from the UK. On the higher bands there was DX to be worked. Don, G3BJ was telling me, though, that as T32BJ he found the 20m opening to Europe at pretty much the same time every day and signals peaked at good strength but the opening would only last for an hour or so.
