12m Goes West Coast USA

A nice late evening opening to the west coast US at 24MHz today - the first in quite a while from this QTH.

Early in the opening
I worked a few stations, which must have led to a cluster spot, prompting a number of other stations to appear on the PSKreporter map.  Sadly, they were rather too late to catch the fading propagation; even at peak signals, I was using an ERP of over 1kW to make the QSOs. 

A little later, localised Es enhancements gave extremely good signals in positive S/N territory to the midwest US, and -3dB to the west coast.

As is usually the case with 12m, point at the sun and make QSOs!  Evening at home.
