Thanks Boriken, didn't see your location on your post?  Daytime, late afternoon and early evening propagation picking up here in eastern Australia with 12, 16 and 17MHz getting better. :)

Has any one logged XSG on 16.898.5MHz CW recently?  Have heard the others on this 16MHz section. Maybe it's off air?
