Well, I did work him on my 100w and a wire at 05:58z after an hour or so trying.  I had 3 contacts back in 2013 on SSB with Clipperton, so I only need the other bands.  160m was not even considered as an option.  I did hear that he was on 6m, so that's a possibility some morning as he is within range.  

One of the others that apparently did not make the LiveStream logging list was our buddy BHS.  He was trying FT8 alongside me as we chatted on HoIP all along.  He's still trying on CW, SSB and whatever to get him on 80m.

Congratulations, EJ.  That's rare air you're breathing!   Quite an accomplishment, and 3000 is close.

I have TX5S on all bands 10 through 40, and don't need them on 80, but chased them awhile on 80 FT8 last night.  In the pileup at the same time were FUV, DB, ZM, AAJ, LEC, JJJ, YCM, QT, DM, and probably others.   No ADXA'ers seemed to be getting through, and I sure wasn't, so I went to bed but left everything turned on.  I listened again about 1 AM and he was on 80 CW!  I fired up the amp, all 400 watts of it, and got him on about the third call even though there was a bit of a pileup.  So - 80 through 10 is complete although I'll try to fill in a couple of  bands on CW.  I'm pleased with the amount of CW and SSB operation and there seems to be plenty of FT8. 

Maybe 160 when they switch their antenna over from 80 as they said they would in a couple of days.  Maybe another CW contact!

The ice storm wasn't as bad as predicted.  My 20M elements drooped slightly but all we really got was a glaze of ice, less than one-tenth.  

73,
