My neighbor here in Geneva posted the following to the Florida
Contest Group and "dx-news" reflectors. Note the comment about
at least trying 160 if/when he hears something.
I haven't checked the sunrise/sunset charts but if there is a
chance, make some noise at sunrise 9N time and who knows what
might happen.

Subject: [DXR] 10 M. Contest 9N7UD
Hello DXers ... I made over 1110 QSOs in the 10 Meter Contest with my
call 9N7UD ... Great runs, but I could not be on for full time, sri.
Mostly SSB, so will enter as Phone only and submit CW log for check log.
I held 28.495 for over eight hours on my Sunday daylight.
Made 31 QSOs on 80 m CW yesterday/today (!) and am trying to call any
time I hear sigs on 80 CW and 160CW and 40 CW. If I hear no sigs.
I go to another band. I try at 3.505, 1.830, and 7.008 plus or
minus the remarkably large amount of non-ham sigs on the ham bands
over here.
I can not make any skeds due to work and duties... but I do wake at
dawn and try then most days --- local time, of course.
Delivered lots of gear to Nepali hams... all smiles!!! Full report
later.
73, 9N7UD and K4VUD
