Every year I say I'm not going to chase those stations, since not going to put in for a certificate.
But, every year I do chase them! Even worked on on 6m this, did get the sweep. Here in MD, DE and RI are always the hard ones to work unless get on 80/75 at night, but the higher bands were short and worked those early.
I also worked VC9CATGIRL on FT8 while looking to work on of the Colony stations on that mode - I bet you no one knew this was Meme Month or that 7 digit suffixes were issued by Canada!
