I listened for him from our sunset near 0145. J38DF came up somewhere
around 0215 +/- and immediately called for EU. At first, he was
unsuccessful, but between 0230 and 0245 (times VERY approximate) he did
work several Euros, including G3SE? (about four times) and several
Germans, before surrendering to the insistence of North American
callers. He did call for EU on several occasions.
His QSB signal again ranged from very Q5 to deep in the noise. I logged
him at 0300. Shortly thereafter, there was an operator change to J38FR,
whose style is very different---faster, with almost no pause to listen
between CQ's. FR stayed on 160 quite a long time--past 0400Z.
I am sure the W4/W5 stations copy him a lot better. Perhaps one of them
can pass on your request, or you can do so yourself on the higher bands.
Good luck.
