Not a hope Colin... no sign of tropo reaching from UK to the Algarve at 
this time of year!  Occasionally I've heard/worked CT and EA via 2m 
Sporadic E during the summer but never in winter.

Congrats on your fine tally of ZL8X Qs by the way... I always thought DX 
propagation was so much better in the 30-40 degree latitude zone!

Only Nick and myself have bagged him from Sheffield ... so far!
