[SEDXC] Was VU7 this morning on 17M...

[Macie, Gordon]

Yesterday was the only time I could even tell they were there. I could
copy about 50% of their transmissions during the same time frame you
mention for today. I am at work today so can't listen. 1430 - 1530 is
definitely the 20 mtr time frame. I didn't call yesterday copy was too
marginal. I am just using a dipole so unless there is a miracle
propagation day I don't expect to be able to work them.
