Just worked VP8PJ on 10.105 MHz at 21:45 UTC. Propagation chart says very small chance of working them now. That said, their signal is 3 to 4 S-units above the noise floor. I worked them with 100 watts on CW. (Did take me 15 minutes of listening to figure out the operator pattern, then a 5 minutes of calling where I guessed they would be listening)
Just a word to the wise — use HF propagation tools as a guideline, but propagation often works better than you might think. Check before and after the recommended times!
The above is the Short Path Reliability for RI to VP8PJ generated today using VOACAP. Note the 30-meter segment is just starting to show some happiness around 21:00 UTC.
