6m - no super-DX overnight, CN8LI "pipe" open again

Overnight, no super-DX seen here I'm sorry to report, but spots have been exchanged between CN8LI (2113km) and me 11 times already starting at 1134z. It is now 1335z as I write. This path seems to be an Es regular. I have no idea why this path seems to be open so well and so often.

Just  realised I'd had the power shown wrongly - forgot to change from 33dBm (10m) to 30dBm (6m). Now rightly shown as 1W ERP on 6m.

Also spotted this morning was HB9FGQ (very strongly). OH6GKW spotted me.

In addition, G0OQK seems to be always there at 98km.

UPDATE 1532z: No further spots of CN8LI since lunchtime. Maybe the Es will reappear teatime?
