Or should I write: Another huge opening to Japan since PA0O Jaap reported about one yesterday. Actually I saw South-Korea as well but unfortunately no QSO yet. Japanese stations however were strong at times and in large numbers. With signals strengths into the +dB figures! Of course I managed some QSOs again but because the band was wide open between Japan and Europe and even Africa there were many stations on. It was hard to find a place in the waterfall that was not occupied.

I even had the idea of some pile up when I got several stations calling me from Japan at the same time. This opening was not 5 or 10 minutes but last longer as a hour. There was a lot of QSB on signals and sometimes all signals were gone and then a few minutes later signals were even stronger, just like waves at the beach.
My good old radiofriend PB7Z Bernard finally made his first QSOs to Japan on 6m. I'm very happy for him.

This was certainly the best opening to Japan I experienced this year. And another test for my 5 element yagi which is doing a excellent job on DX.
