That's just it, I don't.  Well, I don't think so.  I'm in EM15, so
they are about 3600 km from me.  I have no trouble working KP4, KP2,
et al.

The relative spotlessness of the Sun has a lot to do with it of
course, but I expected them to be loud on 40 and 80.  When I worked
ZF2AM the other evening on 75, he was S9+10dB and I joked with him
saying that his LP at 500' was doing great.  :-)

But K5D?  Nope.  When they were on 40 phone the other evening, they
were just a little over the noise.

Not that I'll stop trying.  I may even get brave and try them on CW
...  maybe towards the end ... when they are begging for Qs.  :-)
