Prominent were LZ50BFRA (Bulgaria), TZ4AM (Mali), HK1MW (Columbia), 5T5PA (Mauritania) and LZ177GL (Bulgaria). The 9J2BS (Zambia) station I worked did confirm on LoTW, so that’s good.

He also heard PV8BR -12 dB, 4J75DJ - 3 db, NS4P - 21 dB on Data. Definitely a multimode guy Patrick. Well done.
comments: What a day on 10m. Very strong European signals all day, a lot of GI stations. Band was wide open till the late hours, at the end the real DX was coming in. I was happy to work J68HZ, i was received by J35X according to PSK-reporter. Around midnight local time for me 4J75DJ worked J69DS in FT8. All this with 0 sunspots...i went to bed after midnight and the band was still booming with signals. I wonder what today will bring? 73
