Heard several DL and DK stations QSOing KH6AT. Some of them were an honest 579. I'm sure they would have heard me had I called them. I did not realize that I would ever hear EU that strong here. The options that I knew of were to listen quietly to KH6AT's CQs and string of EU QSOs, or call CQ or try to call a specific station. Either of those last two options would have resulted in serious QRM to KH6AT, who is about 3 miles away. I chose to listen and wait. KH6AT kept calling CQ and working EU and also working NA stations. The opening to EU expired, and I still have no EU QSO in my log. I would like to QSO EU. In this environment ( DX cluster spotting and a nearby active 160 meter operator) It seems that the only way to accomplish that will be to have sked with an EU station. Any suggestions about how to work EU here?
