Tom,

Don't give up hope.  You had said that you thought the W1AW/KH8 was 
going to do this week as well, and looks like you are right.  I heard 
them this evening just after 2300 UTC on 28.035, weak but copyable here.

Maybe you can snag them this weekend on CW or a WARC band while 
everybody is  doing SS.  Also heard them Monday afternoon on 10 SSB, so 
they have been doing both modes.
