I doubt that you are going to hear them overseas.  I was one of the few 
who has heard them east of the Mississippi River.  My understanding is 
that they are very low power transmitters with "stealth" antennas that 
aren't easily spotted.

Last winter I could hear them every night.  They seemed particularly 
strong about a half hour before my sunrise, when it was still dark in the 
Southwest USA. But they would pop in and out of the noise here in 
Illinois.  Most of the time they were just barely detectable.
