I always like the week before the CQWW Contests, the bands are always full of mini-pileups as the contest DXpedition stations limber up for the upcoming weekend. FYI: I've added a link on the SECC web page to a listing of announced CQWW SSB DXpeditions. http://secc.contesting.com/ PJ2/N4GG is one of those and I managed to work him this evening on 40m CW.
