My "guy wire" sloper has good coax on the S/SW leg but the E/NE leg was pretty dodgy.  I replaced it today with some better stuff.  I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I just worked 7Q6M on 80M FT8 at about 4:35 PM local.  I considered that good for that early in the day and it was a new band counter for me. 

I'm now up to 1437 Challenge total with a small bunch of paper QSL cards also to submit.
