I was in the middle of around the fourth attempt when a "four land" station mashed me down into the noise and I thought I would be lost forever. I answered several times before he sent the familiar "question mark" back to me, and even after several more attempts on my part, he couldn't get my call sign correct and I didn't have his. That created a tremendous opportunity for me. I was spared that disappointment when, almost magically, the 30 meter band improved from "poor" to "fair" last night.Īlthough Bulgaria is in my log book eight times now, I heard a very weak LZ3ZX sending CQ "out in the open and all by himself" and to my advantage, not spotted on a cluster. I had feared the bands would continue to be "terrible" for the next several days and I would be limited to another short (under 2,000 miles) contact towards South America for my 100th daily DX contact. There's been several times, since the first of the year, when the bands have gone nearly "dead" and it's been a real challenge to make a daily DX contact but I've been miraculously saved by relativity short contacts into the Caribbean and South America.
