1445Z is good propagation to western NA (west coast sunrise), so they 
were probably listening there. If they knew there was propagation to EU, 
they would probably have listened there instead. Let your pilot know.

They are very close to JA. JA can TX 1810 to 1825. K5P TX is 1825.5. 
They listen DOWN for JA, UP for everyone else.
