Excellent - probably good for Central Asia in general, and overnight
for V. Mongolia too.

Probably better than most people think. Could be just gray line
propagation, but sounded like a local. He was just calling CQ so I
figured I would call without the amplifier. Came back with a 55
report. He also said he was beaming over the north pole, so that is a
shorter path for me and probably accounts for the good signal strength
into Michigan.
