Anyone want to try a 20m Olivia sked as I try to figure stuff out? (lemmy.radio)

Most of my limited experience is testing setups with WSPR, but I'd like to try something more like ragchewing with 5W, so I've been looking at Olivia. I've managed to decode an Oliva tx from someone 1500 km away, but have had no luck with anyone hearing me. (I get spots on WSPR, so I know my computer output and antenna are working on some level.) Olivia doesn't seem to be too active, though. Anyone want to try to communicate?

I'm in the Chicago area, so ideally looking for someone in North America but not in the Midwest (to stay out of the skip zone). Depending on weather and band conditions, I'd be looking for something in the evening (roughly 0200 UTC, but flexible), this weekend or over the next week.

Edit: I'm also up for trying other keyboard-to-keyboard modes if people like others that are tolerant of weak signals.

@wireinatree I think there will be some candidates on mastodon.radio
