I've got them on 12, 15, 17, 20 and 40 phone.  Not much of a CW op, obviously.

I was able to print them on 20 (14091.0 mark) but there was much QRM,
a huge local spike (attenuated somewhat by me unplugging my Ethernet
cable) and idjots sending "call 5NN call" over and over.  One time
when the N6 ... I mean the idjot unkeyed ... *my* call popped out so I
acknowledged.  I have no idea if I got a "TU" or not.

Did I mention there were idjots??  :-)
