   From central Ohio, I worked one on SSB then one on CW   
   within two minutes December 8, 1524Z and 1526Z)! Good,   
   clear confirmation on each QSO, and good copy on their full   
   callsigns.   
      
   Short path, 1300 watts to KT34XA tribander at 70 feet. I   
   listened until I found a station they were working, then called   
   on that frequency.   
      
   I've listened a bit since then, and have heard them often   
   by long path on 20 meters in the morning here.
