Got several alerts this morning spotting XX9W on 30 meters so I crawled out of bed to try to work them.  When I got to the shack I found CY0S already working that band.  After a few expletives I then got an alert for 20 meters.  Tuned up on 14.096 long path and heard a very faint signal...IT WAS THEM CALLING CQ!  Took 3 tries but put them in the log with a -24 just before 7:00AM local time. Within just a couple of minutes they were gone.  Checked the livestream & I was in there.  I also noticed the JA wall went up almost immediately after my contact so I guess you have to be lucky and catch them as they start a new band operation.

-Charles, K5CS
