Yes, I finally succeeded in getting them this morning (very few minutes after my sunrise !) on 17m short-path...
He was barely readable, but I could jump into a brief propagation opening and I went through there !!!!!!!!
Next step : Try the higher bands this WE, and maybe 80m ???? (but I'm not that optimistic, with the major contest...)
Anway, 3 bands for Willis Isl with my modest conditions, and "0" sunspots, I'm really happy with this !!!!!!!
