Walt, agreed.  I passed along the same comment earlier to Ted, and he 
writes back:

Ron,
   Sorry, I wrote that late last night. Yes, the folks on the Geratol 
net are aware of the propagation, well after the usual net closes. Many 
have been hanging around after 0500. I have been able to successfully 
make a HI contact from Arizona but more Eastern stations are in need.
   Just thought a mention on your web page could interest more folks to 
become involved, benefiting everyone. The few stations from HI and AK 
are often getting more than their share of qsl requests.
When one of them relocates it often leaves a hole in the award program.

Thanks & 73
Ted

The requested posting was done earlier today.

Hope those who want a 75m contact can make contact with them.
