Ok all you DX hounds I finally got into the TX5S log. 18.095 FT8 F/H.   It took more than 3 hours.  Persistence pays off. The team have had some tough weather getting over the reef to the beach. Not all the team or equipment is on yet, but they are trying.  I believe 17m FT8 is all they have on the air at the moment, but did run 10m CW earlier.  They have good signals for us, and as more bands and modes come online the pileups will thin a bit...
