[QRP-L] Isle of Man DXpedition QRP stateside emphasis Sunday (tonight)

[Jim Stafford-3]

Just received word from W4DU that tonight Sunday (0000z Oct 2) there
will be extra effort to work QRP stations stateside.

Here is where W4DU/K8DD/AC8W/G0BPS will be listening:

0000z Oct. 2 (8PM EDT) - 14060 Khz
0130z (9:30 EDT) - 10116 Khz
0200z (10PM EDT) - 7030 & 7.040 Khz

The calls to look for MD/K8DD, MD/AC8W, MD/W4DU

He says conditions to North America have been very poor. Only about
5% of total QSOs are NA. I see where John AD5X has worked them along
with a few other QRPers.

Depending on tonight's success they may do something similar tomorrow night.

Thanks much for the notice, Jim.
I listened/called on 20m for >45 min. but no signals of any kind were  
heard
Moved to 10.116 at 0100z  30m -also really on empty.
Will be listening/calling CQ on 7.030 > 0200z, hoping for the best.

Perhaps start on 20m earlier tomorrow?

I gave it a good try, but the bands are in really poor shape. Even  
40m seems strangely quiet, with only an XE2 as DX appearing above  
7.032. No EU at all heard.
Anyone else care to report?
