Hal,

     Congratulations on hanging in there and getting your QSO.  As you know, if this DX'ing stuff were easy, we would all have 3,000+ on the Challenge Award.  It just makes that QSL so much sweeter when you recall what you went through to earn it.


Alan, 

     I was also up at 0930 GMT looking for FK8CP on 160-M.  No luck for me either this morning.  But, just follow my new motto "Never Give Up, Never Surrender" and sooner or later you will log him (or you'll snag something else that you need!)  I'm thinking a nice full-size, 3-L yagi on 30-M at about 100-feet out to be something we all could use - ;>)

Congrats Hal,
 
I started out at 0930Z AGAIN this morning and did hear him come back to a W8 in about the time frame you worked him. I finally threw up my hands about 1150Z.  I give it try again tomorrow AM (for the 4th day in a row, hi !).  This little dipole on 30m just doesn't cut it sometimes.

Guys, 
I was able to finally work the 4W6R this morning on 30m @ 1124UTC.  His signal was up and down but he peaked here about S4-5.  He was working JAs and East Coast U.S. stations and I probably called for about 30-minutes and was close to giving up when he came back to me.  So of course, the moral of the story is never give up.   Actually, I still can barely hear him on 10.118.  But anyway, I am glad to get the new one on CW. 
Have a great w/e! 
73 es DX, 
Hal W8HC
