Difficult - I found it impossible. Due to work committments during the week, I was only able to listen on Saturday and Sunday. All of the cluster spots showed them to be on either 160m or 80m working the USA. The only time I heard them was on Sunday around 1730z for about 30 minutes they were S3 on 14195 then faded into the noise. Fortunately I didnt need it on SSB but it would have been an all time new on CW. I never heard them on RTTY - Oh well - back to the drawing board. Maybe a bird watcher will make another trip..
