We see spotting of the activity on 160 Mfrom this club station on Marcus
Is (MT) and many, many of us would like to work this one on top band.

Can someone in Asia provide some details as to the operator, length of
stay? 

Today, the station was apparently operating very near 1820 but no copy
in midwest NA.  Copy might have been possible except for the BC station
harmonics/mixing that occurs every 5 Khz (1820, 1825, 1830 etc) in NA
that make these frequencies almost impossible to use.

I did hear N7JW calling on 1819.9 and apparently work this station but
solid S9 carrier on 1820 that takes midwest and eastern NA out of the
possibility of any QSO.  Some assistance in helping this very rare stn
choose another freq would be very much appreciated?
