Guess he didn't stay long.  I was busy washing the dog's mouth out after he bit 
a toad on the patio.  Last year it was a $3K rattlesnake bite.

But once I got on, I "worked" TF3JB.   He called CQ and I answered on one freq 
then realized someone was QRMing me, so I moved.  Then it appeared that he was 
probably answering me but was being QRMed too.  I called with reports many times 
then up popped a text message saying "I was in the log."  I ignored that and 
kept calling until he finally sent a R+report.  And that my friends is why I 
don't count FT8 "contacts" for awards.

Why bother with radios, amps and antennas when you can just use an iPhone?
