It was an ATNO for me! Early on in my career (of 2 years) I could barely hear an Antarctic station SSB, but I had a flat top dipole hung N to S and I just couldn't get to them...fast forward, I now have the "miracle vertical antenna" that does everything and points everywhere, I was able to rope them in!
I didn't pay attention this weekend to get in on the CQWW, I had to work on Saturday until 2pm local time and did chores around the house the rest of the evening.

Good work and thanks for the spot. Was it a new DXCC entity? I worked
EM1U at 0236Z on 20M FT4 with a -02and saw people calling L36Z but he wasn't decoding here.
Did you take advantage of the CQWW SSB Contest? I made about 90 contacts: nothing new, but several band counters if they make it to LoTW.
