DX news: Chatam isl ZL7 on the air, March'09

Hey, this would be an "all time new one" : Chatam isl is expected to be on the air next March (from 5th till 10th of March)

Due to poor prop conditions, I may more lickely try 20m LP on our morning time (as well as 40m at our sunrise).
Other openings (like on 17m) ay more lickely happen in the morning tie Short-Path, with South and East Euope wall !!!!!!

ZL7 is right at the other side of the world for me, one of the toughest path !!!!!!!!!

For example, on the 7th of March, for 80m band QSO
My Sunrise (SR) = 06:35z +/- 21minutes --> Window from 06:14 to 06:56
My Sunset (SS) = 17:57 +/- 21minutes --> Window from 17:36 to 18:18

ZL7 SS = 06:19 +/- 12m --> window from 06:07 to 06:31
ZL7 SR =  17:31 +/- 12m --> window from 17:19 to 17:43

What does it mean?

On my SR time, common times would be between 06:14 till 06:31 (let's say 15 minutes window, on LP !)
On my SS time, common times would be between 17:36 untill 17:43 (let's say 7 minutes, on SP !!!)

So I have 22 minutes per day possinility to get a QSO with ZL7 on 80m (of course, assuming propagation is there !)
