They're SLOWLY coming up on 20 (14.022.983), with slow deep QSB and 
being spotted on higher bands as well...  I was able to get the ATNO on 
40 last night (awaiting log upload to confirm), well after the east 
coast went to bed (midnight local).  The initial wall of signals ran 
well over 20 KHz up the band and was SOLID.  I heard them on 30 VERY 
loudly but the lidfest, up cops and sheer multitudes made it undesirable 
(I tried nonetheless).

Gray line helped A LOT (!!!!) as it does with Palmyra.  Good luck!
