African stations were thundering in here tonight (morning UTC, June
10) in droves - as long as you stayed above 9 Mhz. Outlets in Africa
South, Gabon (Afrique Numero Une), Botswana, Cyprus (sort of Africa),
Madagascar, Swaziland and even Egypt were all pretty potent on the
various upper bands, more than I have seen in quite awhile. Guinea,
OTOH, on 7125 was a weak carrier and nothing more, and the usual S.
African powerhouses on 41m were kaput. 49 meters was pretty washed
out, with only the North American outlets dong well (although Spain on
6055 was OK early evening well after the Spanish started at 0100;
before that it was nonexistent during the normal English hour).

I guess summer is here!
