Fully agree with Wolf's conclusion above . Last two weeks I daily
lisnened to the noise and no trace of 3D2KJ signal here. After such time
without any
signs of the hope it was frustrated to follow reports on ON4KST chat
from stations which were lucky to "grab" conditions. So serious doubt
about my station performance came in my mind too.
Learning from the past  how the things on TB could be unpredictable , I
did not gave up and persistently lisnened every evening for two hours
till  3D2 SR. 
Two days before I was rewarded and the spotty condx finally reached the
area here  too. Jacek's signal, so far permanently buried in the noise,
climbed out slightly over my noise edge during short QSB peaks and I was
lucky to 
complete QSO on one of these peaks.  What a thrill for such QSO which is
really on the edge of condx and time&technical limits here.

So never say it is hopeless.
