Clark - listen for them on 17 meter CW. I tried and tried on 20 and 40 CW one evening last week with no success. On a whim I went up to 17 meters at about 7:00pm local time and there was VP6D calling CQ with very few takers. And the folks he did pick off I was not able to hear. With my K3/100 into a wire antenna, I got him on the fourth try. This past Tuesday morning I heard them again on 17 meters calling CQ - few responders. Give them a try on a band with no huge pileups - you may be surprised!
