Bob,

He has been on every day like clockwork at 1400z 14278. You can almost set 
your watch by it. Calls CQ right at 1400. after the first qso simplex he 
typically goes split and listens up 5 or on 295 he will tell you where to 
listen. You are beaming long path aren't you??  He was an honest S8 at this 
qth on Wednesday, bout S6 on Thursday,  he worked at least 70 stations on 
wednesday. same thing on Thursday.   Had to work yesterday so I didn't get a 
chance to see if he was there.  If you have packet network capability, 
search for spots from FT5 which will tell you if he was on yesterday or 
today. He has good ears, his preferred method for callers is that you give 
only the last two letters of your call when calling.   I don't know when he 
is supposed to leave but I haven't seen a firm departure date.
press  on regardless
