ZL9 - Bands have been very slow in ZL9 mornings (15.30-23.00 UTC), but
extremely big in the evenings (05.00-10.00 UTC). The limited time at
their sunset caused them to make choices: basically, their policy
was to work down the main needs first, and then tackle the fringe
stuff (RTTY, 160, 80, etc) with more focus after that. From now
until they go QRT Europeans should look for them on 160 metres at
16.30 UTC. On 40 and 80 SSB they plan to operate 08.00-09.00 UTC for
Europe, 09.00-10.00 UTC for North America and 10.00-11.00 UTC for
Japan. SLIM REPORT: please note that they were not on 40 metres CW
between 11 and 17.15 UTC on 17 January. QSL via ZL2HU (Ken Holdom,
P.O. Box 56099, Tawa, New Zealand). [TNX N1DG]
