It looks like I have missed my shot at them on 160.

Apparently I was "making hay while the sun shines", and I should have been the "early bird getting the worm". 

I am begging to think the difference in DXing success and failure is choosing the correct idiom on the correct day. 

Other than 160 it was a pretty decent run from here with a few contacts ft8 and a few CW. It was really nice having a pipeline to them from here. 

Well, no need of crying over spilled milk. Maybe contacts with the next dxpedition will be a piece of cake. 

73 and good dxing!
