Thanks. I'll be realistic and assume the ops had a good set of "ears"
(aka antennas), and were eager hunters. A35RK came right back to my 1st
call like it was a day in the park. Of course he was operating "way up
there" (21.053MHz) and not down amongst the noisy fray. I got T32OU 3
mins after the start of the contest and A35RK 32 mins before the end.
Both stations were putting out 100W and came in 5x5 on 15 meters. I
guess ya gotta get in early and stay late to get the pretty stuff G.

Cheers,
