Peter:
Good signals from GA   and  GG  usually begin just after the noon hour.
Solid through the afternoon and until sunset.  They are very close together
so one screen should show them.  They are QRSS 3   not 30. Since we are
similar distance from them - I am sure you will see them okay.  GA is
usually audible in mid-afternoon.  No QRM noticeable - sometimes swept
carrier zips across the band.
TAG and MP had QSO during the Summer.
