I've been up and down all night, and was listening out for them on 30 and 40 m right from the start.
So far, they have been almost inaudible on 30 m at best, and they were readable at times on 40 m, but nowhere near strong enough to compete in the pileup.
I hear stations call on frequency, get told "Down" and then the "Downer" gets told "UP UP UP".
It looks like Big Ben is blocking the signals almost completely in this direction. They should be quite strong over this distance. I might have to wait until the Spit Bay stations are going.
