    It would be a new one for me.

    I heard them quite well on 20 CW the first day. Huge pile up though! I couldn't get through the east coast wall.

    I haven't heard them well at all since then. I can only barely hear them on 15, 17, and 20 SSB so far.

    How 'bout you?

    Got them on 40m and 17m SSB on the 11th. On 17m, they were never above S4. On 40m, not above S6.

    The last hour or so 2100 to 2200UTC, I have heard them reasonably well on 15 SSB but they are mostly working the east coast. They are about S3-4 with an S2 noise level here. I can't hear them on 17.
    Looks like it will be a struggle!

    Much like my 9M4SLL contact today. Not an easy path from here at all.

    Found them 3 times so far.

    15 ph
    20 ph

    and 40 cw.

    On phone they have been just a whisper both times
    but heard me.

    I found them on 40 CW by accident.
    I was trolling 40 CW last night (Saturday) handing out some points in the WAE-CW contest
    and heard a faint station calling CQ simplex.
    Had to listen a few times to get his call.

    It was D64K calling CQ...apparently he hadn't been spotted
    and I easily got thru.
    No pile up and as I said, Simplex.

    They were VERY strong on 12m phone early this afternoon, but I
    never made it thru.
    Funny, they are weak as hell and I get thru,
    strong and I ain't got a prayer...Go figure !
    Fool me once...Shame on YOU.
    Fool me twice...Shame on ME !

    Hmmm, they have been quite strong to me.

    I have snagged them on 15CW/SSB and 20SSB on their first day.

    40-20-17-15-12m ssb, 17-15m cw

    12m ssb from the mobile yesterday around 17:30. Worked 'em on 15m ssb /m Saturday, but the op didn't log the "/m".

    I've heard them on RTTY a couple of times fairly strong, but have struck out so far.

    Right now on 14.026, he's strong on East Coast and working almost simplex (up 0-1).
    All week he has been weak and working big split. Why does this make me suspicious?

    Edit-> Never mind - its D3AA, who has been strong and working small split all week.

    Move along, nothing to see here.
