Hi Ekki,
you tried it around 10 UTC and worked them also: PRIMA! No wonder,
because from 0930z..1030z is the best chance for a good propagation
between DL and Ducie Isl. on 15m. During that time you can expect
a good signal and the highest S/N ratio. From 15-19 UTC you can expect
a good propagation and medium S/N also. Today, approx. ~2230-2300z
they called for EU on 21295, 4-5 hours to late: but they have worked
17 x Italy, 11 x Spain, 2 x Portugal, 2 x France plus a few other
South-European Countries, no stations from Central or Northern Europe.
They have worked Europe! Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha :-(
