===========================
Kim:

For me anyway, working, any one of the "Terrible T's" [i.e. row of 
countries in Central Africa] on 40m or 30m is tough because I only have 
a fan dipole for those two bands.

I worked TY1AA on 12meters but I have not tried to get him on any other 
band.

I think your method of determining where he is listening and then 
calling up slightly as you were doing is a pretty good method. Many DX 
stations -- who follow some type of pattern -- use that algorithm. Some 
DXpeditions use a more or less "random" approach to mining callers out 
of the pileup. In that case, I guess, it just takes perseverance to 
eventually get in his log.

Congratulations!!!
