The ZS8M was on June 9 at 1230Z on 14240 but NIL here.  A couple of AZ 
stations say he was 5/5 there and worked.

The 3C0C activity has been tough on 17 and 20.  On SSB they are very weak 
(compared to 3C9B)
and only EU says they are 9+.  On CW they are still weak but a few have made 
it.  Best signal was on 40 CW were they hit 589.  But they QRT at 2400 to 
0030Z so it tough to catch them.  Today they went to 17 RTTY as the SSB gang 
was not cooperating.

10 Finally got into the 6 meter type openings today with a few making it to 
GA.  Signals were louder in W1.  The strongest was a CT3 S8 to 9.  Several 
Italians including IK4GRO hit S6 to 7.  The CT1 and F5 were readable and 
workable but about 1/2 the signal strength of W1 and W2.  There was a couple 
of strong EA and CT on 12 but the band did not hold in for long.
