Short skip was really loud on 20 on Saturday. You were slammin in here.

I use a vertical loop at about 45 feet to the top. Really does well on
NVIS
stuff.

North/South paths were excellent, but East/West paths were non-symmetrical,
which suggests a tilted ionosphere. The further north you were, the more
exaggerated the effect was. I was hearing the W7/VE7's weak and watery,
but they reported my signal as huge. Meanwhile W1/VE1's who I had 20-over
were CQ'ing in my face.

Can't wait for CQWWCW!!! Maybe the freckles-del-Sol will be more
cooperative.
