Hello Rik,

I will be there from sunset (2150z) and continue for some hours if 
there is activity. I haven't heard of anyone else on your side who 
plans to try this night. Maybe you could email if you have to QRT.

I am certain we can have an easy QSO in good conditions. We just 
need some luck to both be QRV when those conditions come again.

73,
Paul N1BUG FN55mf
