Hi gang,

I have been trying to just hear the ZA1B group in Albania.
I sent an email to one of their contacts via Switzerland.
Following rcvd just a few minutes ago is the result;
direct form Martti,  OH2BH himself:

"... have received your email from KH7M. We have 
absolutely no path to Hawaii on 15M but we have worked 
dozen of KH6 from 05Z to 07Z window. 

We will be there on 14195KHz tomorrow at that time. 
Please call in at your pleasure.

Regards from the gang at ZA1B.

Martti "

According to my propagation predictor program,  the only band
with any chance at all would have been on 15m.  Martti says
they have worked "dozen"  KH6;  any of you made the QSO
on 20 meters?  Only time I can find that they were on 20
during the hours he mentions was back on 4/26,  or last
Friday evening Hawaii time.  Wonder how many of Martti's
KH6's last Friday were among the 750 or so KH6 license
holders who are living and operating from all across the
US mainland?

If any of you have actually had a QSO with the ZA1B guys in
the past few days,  would sure appreciate the contact info.

And,  Martti seems to have assured they will be on the look out
for Hawaii calls this evening (Thursday HST),  per his e-mail.
