I listened for a 1/2 hour before and after sunrise
here and I occasionally heard them on 160, but
never well enough to call. I did manage to work
them on 80 meters 1/2 hour after sunrise. They
were a few dB out of the noise on QSB peaks.
Just enough to make a QSO. Nothing to spare.
This wasn't a good sign. Generally, 80 needs
to be be solid before 160 is usable.
I heard VY2ZM work them night before last.
VY2ZM's signal was huge, and not a whisper
from A35T. I don't understand what is going
on here. A pacific island should be a chip
shot from the left coast.
