I listened for a 1/2 hour before and after sunrise here and I occasionally heard them on 160, but never well enough to call. I did manage to work them on 80 meters 1/2 hour after sunrise. They were a few dB out of the noise on QSB peaks. Just enough to make a QSO. Nothing to spare. This wasn't a good sign. Generally, 80 needs to be be solid before 160 is usable. I heard VY2ZM work them night before last. VY2ZM's signal was huge, and not a whisper from A35T. I don't understand what is going on here. A pacific island should be a chip shot from the left coast.
