      From: jcm@power-net.net              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)                            --       J. Mc Laughlin; Michigan U.S.A.       Home: JCM@Power-Net.Net        |
