I have been trying for the past three days. I have not heard them at all on any 
band in the evening.
The only time I have heard them has been on Wednesday and Thursday morning near 
our sunrise on 30 meter CW and this morning on 20 CW and 40 CW. Their signal 
was ESP level on both 20 and 30 meters. They had a decent signal on 40 CW this 
morning.

I have a feeling that some of their operators don't understand the propagation 
to the eastern part of
the USA. If they would of been on 30 meters this morning they probably would of 
been workable.

I am going to put back up my 40 meter wire vertical after work tonight. It 
worked pretty good to get thru
to VU7RG, so maybe It will work for BS7H too. It looks like our last  chance 
will be Saturday morning since they will be QRT at 0000z Sunday (8:00PM 
Saturday here)I don't have high hopes . This is the 3rd BS7H Dxpedition and I 
have heard them every time but never got thru. Hopefully someone will go back 
when the sunspots come back.  GL.
