starts at 0730 UTC Saturday, that's 0230 Saturday morning here on the US East coast.  I am planning on listening for them on 17.2 KHz at Point Judith RI using my Wandell und Goltermann  selective level meter and at best , a beverage terminated at the far end in the ocean, or at least with just a 75 meter mobile whip on my Tacoma  4X4.  Will also try to work them on 40 CW, where they will be on or around 7035 KHz according to their web site.

BTW, did someone post the info re the Christmas Eve re-creation of the first AM broadcast on the 600 meter band here from a station in Virginia or did I read about that on an ARRL bulletin? That also sounds like an interesting operation.
