Topband: EP6T and outside world

I have been listening for them but barely hear them on 80 and never 
once yet on 160. Amazingly I worked them on 40 through the bastards 
QRMing on their frequency. I can't think of any DXpedetion I have 
heard with greater QRMing than this EP6T operation is enduring.

I see a few of the fellows with excellent Rx antennas in NA posting 
hearing them, so they are being heard by some. Perhaps there are 
nulls in the 160 signal making it difficult/impossible for most to 
copy? Maybe it's just where we are in the cycle. If most of us could 
hear them, I'm guessing there would be more mention on the reflector?

>  That has kept me preplexed since the expedition began - not a 
single word in the TB reflector. How come? Usually even a minor 
expedition with TB claims is being widely discussed. I think everyone 
in NA, SA, OC hopes to log them despite East EU wall and QRN/QRM 
issues fellows have been dealing with. I've been hearing them on TB 
on my SS till abt 2.12 UT up and down, max S4. Other bands they are 
resonably loud but focused mostly on EU. I hope they will find time 
for SA.
