Unlike the operation in December 2004, some of the new batch are able to be
heard in the upper Midwest.

So far, as least four or five of the stations act as if they understand
the propagation facts of the difficult path from VU4 to NA - if not the
additional problems for paths in the shadow of the magnetic pole.

Plus and minus of 1600Z and a short window near 2400Z (both on 14 MHz)
are about 80% of the possibilities from Michigan.

Well, it's off to the racesgrin...

VU4AN/VU3DYC (I've probably screwed that up, it's written down in the
other room) pretty loud on 20cw this morning. Too much of a madhouse to
work though. Will keep trying. Good luck to all!
