Has anybody heard when they will be on 10m CW?

Or is it wait and see?

They were loud on 12M CW (and 17M SSB) this morning (1300Z). He called for NA and worked NA but I heard a lot of EU calling on 12M CW. Several NA worked on 17M about the same time but not a restrictive CQ.? I see stations calling him many times but I don't hear him for some reason (SP or LP). I worked him on 12M SP this morning but he was only slightly loader SP than LP here.

Unfortunately the first spot is not CW but FT8.? The rest of the times are not good for prop to NA.

That's a hard one from my QTH. Short path mostly across the north pole makes it tough.? I have worked them short path on 17 meters Superfox Hound mode. I think that was with 100 watts.? I see FT8 spots for them now on 10 meters, but I'm not hearing them short or long path.? Propview shows 15 meters is better long path this time of day.

Patience is a virtue! I decided to wait and see.

I put the station on WSJTx SH and left it there , waiting.

Last evening around 0030z he was spotted by a US station so I got ready.

I could not see the slightest trace from him but immediately he called CQ.

He responded after 2 calls! #313 on 10m.

It pays to be prepared.
