Strange conditions last night on 75 meters as well as 40 meters. Seems like
some sort of propagation event. I didn't get home until rather late and as
soon as I turned on the radio I saw a lot of signals normally S9 plus 20
showing up at S6 etc. Didn't matter which of the 6 antennas I tried either.
So its possible you received some Chinese skywave propagation. Rare but
possible.
