I heard OK1CF calling CQ. Karel was a real 599. He came back and gave me 599+. Later, OM2WX called with a very solid signal. A couple of other weak EU stations later, but I had to go on watch and could not continue.

QTH: Abut 30 miles from Cocos Island (TI9), in EJ65.
1 kW and a 50 foot vertical.
Ain't Dead for sure,

Sorry I couldn't copy you calling me last night Guy . . . I've still got
this local noise problem (OFCOM back again next week, so keep hoping they
will shut the source down)

I popped on a couple of times last night . . . but didn't stay on long. as
reports from RBN stations were very poor !

It's always fascinating how very localised DX Propagation can be on Top
Band, I noted how several Europeans said that propagation to NA was very
poor over the weekend, whereas I found it pretty good.
