Jeff, as we discussed on 160 I did hear ZM7A on 1830 calling at times.
With the QRN and the KC1XX CQ Beacon using a 2 second turn around it was
impossible....
The total time I hrd ZM7A was maybe 3-7 minutes. 

It would be a pleasure if the US/VE contest stations would NOT hog
DXpedition frequencies with lame excuses either......KC1XX moved maybe
500 Hz during the whole time!
