[Stan Ross]

Just worked S9OK RTTY w/95w and a dipole on 10.142.3
They must have super ears!

They are good and the EU stations they have been working are good because they have that frequency allocation on 60 meters but again we do NOT here in the USA if it is off one of the discreet channelized frequencies. Do NOT be tempted to operate outside our authorization, as some USA hams have done, and place our 60 meter allocation in jeopardy.

They peaked with 100% copy for about 5-6 minutes. Hard to catch them with propagation into NA on certain bands.

So far I have barely heard them on 40 SSB and have NOT called at all.  I monitor constantly for 160m CW with my old 80/160 dipole that I re-erected just for the S9OK.
