JR7TKG - Japan currently on 18.126 USB (22:18) . First Op held him up for about 6 mins. After that, it was a madhouse. No chance with my 100 watts and wire, but good to hear JA's. 7300 miles from my QTH. It may have been possible if I had stumbled upon him early, but once it hits the DX cluster, things are gonna get crazy.
Did get to Work UV5ERY - Ukraine on 40M CW @22.27. That made me feel a little better.
