Default BS7H

Dear Larse (no call sign):

I do not know where in Michigan (or the 8th call area) you are located.
After all, Michigan is a very large state.

I am in the central part of the lower peninsula. Only on 20 meters have
they had a strong signal. As others have said, CW provides the best chance
of a contact. I have found that their signal gets good about 7:45 A.M. EDST
(1145Z), peaks about 8:30 A.M. EDST, and becomes weak by something like 9:30
A.M. EDST.

This morning (May 4, 2007), on 20 SSB, the operator spent a lot of time
on 3s, 2s, 1s, and then 0s. He called for 9s - almost immediately decided
that signals were weak, and left to work EU. All the while, a useful signal
was heard on 20 CW.

I suggest starting to listen tomorrow at about 7 A.M. EDST. My
expectation is that the farther north you are, the shorter will be the
opening.

73, Mac N8TT (my actual present call sign)
