I'll bet that if you had tried FT8 you would have worked them far more 
easily and on more bands. That mode has an advantage of about 16 dB (40x 
the power) over SSB, which is the most difficult way to work weak 
signals. CW is about 10 dB better than SSB, FT8 is about 6 dB better 
than CW with very good ops on both ends.
