Noticed XP3A Greenland active on 20M FT8 at 0825z , bit too early for Adelaide PF95 , ran VOACAP ,
around 1200z
and again in our mornings around 2200z from memory , our best times for Greenland, think awhile back
they were
running a Txer on 3.815Mhz USB for Fishermen , think that frequency is correct , would have to check
an old WRTH
or DXLD.
