Here's one you don't see every day.....Swaziland!
3DA0ET They are on the air, and have a pretty good signal. I just bagged them on 12m CW. Time to get them!! I think this ties my distance record, too. 9300+ miles with 100 watts and a wire in my attic.

I got a bpsk31 contact with a nice fellow in Australia Saturday morning on 28.120Mhz. That is my longest yet at over 10K miles using my OCF dipole & 30 watts. I get all excited when I see those DX call signs, guess that's why I love it so much. 
HS Most of us DXers do. It's a disease. |

Yep, they're in LoTW for me, too. That's pretty darn fast. Work them in the morning, and 3 hours later it's confirmed in LoTW. I like it. Quoted:

I worked these guys last night on 30m and today on 12m CW!
UPDATE!!!!! They already posted to LoTW !!!  Yep, they're in LoTW for me, too. That's pretty darn fast. Work them in the morning, and 3 hours later it's confirmed in LoTW. I like it. Still looking for them

I have worked them twice now and both times I am pretty sure they got my call wrong. 
Ah well, it was still fun learning to do splits on digi with that much separation. It's pretty rare when I fool with digital, but when I do, I'm never sure if I'm doing the split operation correctly. When I try it, I never get through. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if I just can't bust through the pileup. I guess I'll figure it out one day....or maybe not.

That's part of the reason I give a long exchange in a pile up. That way if the timing doesn't match up I know for certain it isn't for me. Quoted:

Yep, as expected, they got the call wrong. ...sigh...back in the hunt. That's part of the reason I give a long exchange in a pile up. That way if the timing doesn't match up I know for certain it isn't for me. 3x callsign plus a follow up when he called CQ after our QSO. 7Mhz tonight and I can't hear them clear. ...sad...

Since that first day I got them, I haven't been able to hear them at all. I could almost hear them during the contest yesterday, but trying to work them would have been very optimistic. I'm just glad I was able to get them once. In the log, is in the log
