Hi Merv.
At this end he was on 1.825.9 and listening 1 up on his end.
Prop was like clockwork. Just the same way I worked 3B9C at Rodriquez
a few
years ago, only that one was the small window at my sunset. Just
turned on
the radio and amp, waited a few minutes for the gray line, hears the
signal
come up slowly out of the noise, and then at good copy of the call sign
give
them a call. Works every time.
I saw on the FT5 website where LY5W worked him on 160 about the same
time I
did. It was when the FT5 was working some northern Scandinavian
stations
who were just into their sunset/gray line.
If it wasn't the DX Ped, then some pirate has to be in the same part of
the
world and understand the gray line propagation.
A couple of responses have said the NH0Z was up a KHz or so, but I did
not
hear that station. I worked him in the contest this past weekend.

Now thats a strange one Milt, I was up and ears peeled at 1330Z until
now 1545Z and never heard a peep outta him, never heard anyone
calling at all, what Freq was this happening on?
Only stations on 160 were NH0Z and V63DX, couple JAs
How in the world did we all miss him? Curious to freq you heard him
on?
I also dont see any reverse beacon hits for him..

He was first discernable here at 1350. In the log at 1400.
It is now 1422 and he is fading with my sunrise. The signals peaked
at S3
on the Beverages for about 20 minutes, but was good copy on ALL 16
Beverages. This indicates a VERY HIGH arrival angle here near the
Amsterdam antipode. He was good copy (S1) on a full wavelength
horizontal
loop just 10 feet AGL.
He is now working northern Scandinavian station as well as NA west
coast
as he fades away. Still 449 at 1427.
73, and good luck to all.
de Milt, N5IA

Cool catch Milt. New Mexico has just that very small window in the AM
whereas those of us on the east coast wouldn't have a chance at that
time.
Our window is a good bit longer...maybe an hour or so at our SS until
their SR.

Merv if you look at a gray line map you will see that the path from New
Mexico to FT5ZM at 1350Z is in the gray line while at the same time its
three hours after your sunrise. Also after sunrise for most of eastern
US.

Hi Gang,
A quick update from 8Q7BM:
I was on Topband yesterday in several bursts between 1430z to 1730 and
then again in my SR between 0000z and 0130. Only one UA0 and two EU
where logged in the evening. The band was very quiet with almost no
activity. In the morning just before my SR there where only fractions
of a K1 station heard on 1820.2, no one came back to may calls on
1823.7.
I will on again tonight from 1500z and tomorrow morning for my SR
starting at around 0000z. Look for me around 1823.
QSL via Tim M0URX and LoTW.
73 de Bj?rn,
