Have you heard them yet? Jack shit here although they were cripplingly
loud
from the ship on the way down.

They were 599 on 10103.0 kHz at 0315 this morning, listening up 5 - 20
and working only USA. A waste of time to call them. I shall wait a
few days until the initial feeding frenzy dies down.

Yes, they were a solid S9 from about 2330Z until I went to bed, working a
mix of JA, US, EU and South Am in probably the biggest pileup I have ever
heard.

They are about 339 here on 17 CW now, although G3RTE who isn't using
anything more than me seems to be able to hear them alright. :-(
