After resting for most of the day, I decided to check out the bands and see if any thing was going on. I'm glad I did. 17 meters was open wide to Europe. The first station I heard was YO4RYU, who was maritime mobile off of the coast of Nigeria. He went QRT for the night before I got to work him, but the fun had just begun. I then heard and worked OS8A and OR4U, both from Belgium. I then got LX1HD in Luxembourg. Afterwards, I worked EA1AKS in Spain. I also barely missed M0JWK in the UK and CT2JHU in Portugal before they went QRT for the night. All in all it was a fun 2 hours on 17 meters on a Sunday afternoon.
