*) DF2ZC running 30 W drive onlyComment:I spent most time looking for CT9/OM3RG and was monitoring the various frequencies he was on all day long. All of a sudden his CQ popped up around 1056 UTC and the QSO was completed straight away. After this I copied his CQs for another 10 minutes or so until they disappeared. Steve's signal was also copied later that day around 1940 UTC for some 10 minutes when he called in Q65A.
It is amazing to work CT3 and CT mainland on tropo from here. Though I have a good take-off to SW, there are hills some 1900 m high in Northwest Spain which should usually block the tropo path.

After that, the conditions got better and better. Initially, the duct only reaches the Spanish coastal stations. Finally, EA2DR, a station located about 50 km south of the coast, was also worked.
