[Fists] Looking to SKED British and Continental Insomniacs

Now that 20 and 30 Meters seem to be showing some signs of life, I'd
like to garner some more 2 pt entries towards my CC.

I'm running a barefoot K2 with about 14 Watts out; this is more than
enough for good copy when ye olde �ther cooperates, but not enough to
punch through QRM.  [Come to think of it, KEYNOTE could use a primer on
the fine arts of QSY and QSK].

A more significant problem is that I generally can't get on the air
until near 00Z which is 01:00 BST and 02:00 MET, too late for most
normal folk and too early for early risers!

BTW, I have worked (or at least copied) Wales, France, Ukraine, Denmark,
Poland, Sweden...
Now if I could only get them to QRS...., and even then they wouldn't
help for my CC.

Please reply offline (unless you rather work NA than sleep).
I'd appreciate it if the UK KEYNOTE would note that the cross-Altantic
path is open in the wee hours on both 20 and 30 Meters, and there are
plenty of US and Canadian FISTS numbers to be had.
