Paul,
In the UK the opposite is true !  I worked VK9XX second call and heard him most
nights (our time) . Last night 2100Z 15th was the first time I could even detect
VK9YY - he was not anything like good enough copy for a QSO. At the same time we
had a really good opening to JA,  TL5A was peaking 5-8-9,  4S7EA was 549,  so
conditions felt really good
It's a strange band - patience and perserverance do pay in the end though  HI!
