ZL7DK doing a great job into Europe, despite the path over the pole and 
everything. If we don't hear them on 160m around their sunrise we don't have
propagation, and we can be pretty sure they are there on the other
side trying.

N6MZ/KH9, N2OO/KH9,  I have so far not seen any activity when it moves up to 
primetime for Europe. Seen spots and heard activity on 3.5 MHz up
to around 17z, and thats 2 hours before Wake sunrise. Not heard nor seen
any spots that show activity (JA or OH2BUA) on lowbands around their sunrise.
Are they at all active around their sunrise?
Seen lots of activity around primetime USA sunrise both 80m and 160m. 
Well, could it be that the whole US is in broad daylight around Wake 
sunrise...naaaa...

Anyone on this reflector that could get a message through to them to try for
Europe on 160m at 18.00z up to their sunrise...?

Well, we still have some days left of the operation so my hopes for activity on 
160m 
around their sunrise still can come true..... then we have the polar path
but thats an other story...
