   That would work.  That wouldn't surprise me for that time of night.  I got up   
   to do the late night can't sleep thing a   
   couple nights ago and said howdy to a couple of guys in the   
   UK I hear when the band's good during the small hours in the extra class   
   portion of 75m phone.  IF I can do that with 100 watts then props should be   
   fairly good on that freq for   
   eUrope evenings.   
      
   I know everybody does the higher bands is moaning about the   
   solar cycle not being kind, but for those of us who do most   
   of our chasing of paper and awards on the lower bands it's   
   not been that bad, so long as there isn't a lot of weather   
   static.  Sure stinks for 20 meters helping the vessels and   
   running phone patches for those guys though.  Oh well,   
   tanstaafl.
