Great! Sounds like an easy QSL if you can make out some audio. I may
need to do an all-nighter here, to find the best time combo. So far,
I have not heard more than a SSB whistle from this station; and we
usually get PNG pretty well.

Home of one of the biggest copper mines. Sounds like a good spot for
antennas.

Excellent - the reports I see make it sound like they're eager to get
mail.

You might want to try closer to your sunrise, and for maybe a half hour or so
beyond. No need to do an all-nighter.

That might work, I'll give it a try a few AMs. - I was just wondering
if their sunset time (maybe 1030-ish just now) might be better than my
sunrise, or Vice-versa. Have to be later this week - got a couple of
heavy work days coming up.

Sunset in PNG is around 0800 or so at present.

That early! Well, I guess they are closer to the equator. I found
that whether it was 0800 or 1000, it didn't make a lot of
difference...but I'll try your suggestion.

Do you have a weblink on which you can enter a specific Z time to see
where the grayline falls?

Thanks, Bruce
