So you might try to contact Joe, VO1NA with one of the faster QRSS modes for a real time QSO! Greyline propagation is good now and I do receive stations that are much rarer in winter! It might also be interesting to note which band is better at this time of the year 2200 m or 630 m! My guess is 2200 m, but I can be completely wrong. 73, Roelof Bakker, PAoRDT
