(Araucaria) Long Path 9Q6CC on 10 m

[Thomas Carlsson]

Desculpe, mas vou escrever em ingles...

WPX SSB 10m working 9Q6CC during dark hours.

We heard 9Q6CC during the night and morning LONG PATH. Reasonable and steady
signal, should guess during some 1-2 hours.
Note that his QTH is Goma City. in very eastern Dem. Rep. of the Congo, on
the Rwanda border.
Goma = E 29 degrees and S 1.7 degrees (on the Equator), PW2D = W 29 degrees
(on the Tropic). This makes:
Long Path (LP) 79%
Short Path (SP) 21% of the earth circumfence

Reported contacts, time is UTC
PS2T approx. 06.00 LP
PW2D  06.21 LP
PY2LED 15.19 SP
ZW5B 17.30 SP

This in my opinion is a very interesting and rare phenomena:
 - May have to do with Equinox, that we have now
 - He is on the Equator
 - LP contacts with stations that were north of or on the Tropic of
Capricorn
 - his Sun Rize 05:00 UTC, sun up for more than 1h
 - our Sun Rize 09:00 UTC, 3h before sunrize
Did anyone else work 9Q6CC Long Path (LP)?
Especially interesting to know if someone further south from the Tropic
worked him LP.
PS2T, can I get the exact time you worked him, and how long before that you
heard him.
