My last 160m QSO with EU was in Feb 2, 1998 i.e. G3RTY. 
None heard until I wrote this.
 
To avoid any possible interference to 9M0C operation on 
1824.5 TX and its QSX freq (which varies everyday- Jo) I move 
up from my favourite freq on 1826 to 1828.3 to call CQDX.

That's what I did again this morning (local time, Feb 17) 
and in many mornings before (since Feb 11). I always listen 
to him on 1824.5 before making my CQ call. Today, clearly 
heard: "9M0C UP" several times. I didn't realise that he 
was QSX on 1828.5! Moreover, nothing I heard there and also 
on 1828.3 except high level of QRN. Later, Mike came to my 
freq to explain briefly. 

I do apologise for disturbing the EU pile-up. It was not 
deliberately intended. Thank you.
