When I fired up the station time morning I was on 40m from last night. I just started calling CQ and DU0A answered me. I noticed he had just worked a California (?) station before. It was a quick 1-2-3 and done. Another challenge point (1903) to add to my list.
And then he was gone. The curse of "JJJ" as we've witnessed for some time. Always work a DX before me for best chance. I guess my 100w blows up their receivers.
