Sorry to anyone who tried to chase my activation on 7 MHz this afternoon towards the end. BD7PUZ made himself very popular by spotting on 7.118 MHz whilst I was activating. Unfortunately most of Europe couldn’t hear him or me it seems…
The cluster has its uses I am sure, but more often then not It seems to cause a complete mess. I could not work out who was calling who in mid QSO with a G station.
Rant over, thanks for all the contacts today.

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for the summit today. I got back home about 130pm so glad to catch you and a few others. I have worked Zhi on a couple of bands and he has always a big signal. Not sure what the power rules are in China but you are right he had quite a few spots within EU so I guess someone was hearing him and not you ~~ propagation I suppose.
Best wishes and good luck 2016+
Night night.
Mike

Interesting, I could just about hear him on Rhialgwm.

Morning Jonathan,
Yes it is interesting. My best dx on 40M has been Chile, CE3EEA. I thought at first I had misheard thinking it was a CU station and then the penny dropped 
Those who worked Zhi on 40M from EU must have been very pleased - I would!
Have a good hols.
Cheers
Mike
