If you need Kergulen (FT8X, formerly FB8X) now is a good time to get it.
FT8XA was on 7007 last night (26 Sept) at around 0235Z.
He is a better CW operator than FT8XB, who was on 40 meters
on 21 and 22 Sept.

There has also been a lot of pacific activity in the mornings on
40 meters, around 1100Z.  Stations heard/worked include KX6DS, H44IA,
ZL7UW (Chatham), FK8FF, and VK9NM/LH (Lord Howe).

Also, N7ET/DU2 was heard on 7008 working Europeans.  He was too weak to
work in Massachusetts, though.

There's also been some Asian activity in the evenings, with UA0BCV
and HZ1HZ coming through between 01:30 and 02:00Z.

As for Africa, the only interesting thing I've heard lately (besides
DL0MAR/9G) was 3V8AL, who was running Europe on 7001 at 21:15Z.  I
was able to break the pile-up, and so was K1MEM.  He then started to
listen for non-Europe, but I didn't hang around to see how much stuff
he worked.

DL0MAR/9G has been on 14026 at 17:30 to about 19:00, weak into the
U.S. but easily workable.  After 19:00 or so he goes to 40 meters,
and tries 80 occasionally at U.S. sunset.

OE7RKH/YK is still active.  He's been heard on 20 and 40 meters.  He
sends error-free at 55 WPM, quite the CW op.  I've worked him on 20,
40, and 80 meters; he has a good signal on all three bands.

Does anyone know what the pile-up on 7005 at 1100Z this morning
(26 Sept) was?  There were a lot of JA's and some VK's calling,
but there was too much echo and the station they were calling was
real weak.  I only heard one U.S. station calling.
