Just got 'em on 160 this morning about 15 minutes before sunrise,
when they peaked at 599 on the TX vertical.  I now have them
on 160/80/40/30/20/17.  The interesting thing is that from
80 thru 17, there was a consistent pattern of being easier
to work the lower the frequency.  In a sense, 160 was the
easiest band of all, once the propagation was in place.
They came right back to me.  Of course, my vertical does
have a history of getting out.

On 80 meters, they are like a beacon station every morning,
running S9+.  Far easier to work than Europe on 80.
Interesting that they don't seem to be running out of
callers yet.
