Hi, John. .....not sure exact times....early evening...I shut the 
station down most days around 7 or 8 pm, so before that. They have been 
on 30 meter rtty most days for the past week. I have listened, but I 
haven't worked them on 30....have VU7 confirmed from a previous 
operation on 80, 40, 30, and 20.
