Been hauling myself out of bed early for the last four or five days in the hopes of catching Thierry on 15, 12, or 10, but he has always QSYed to 17 before we get propagation here on the West Coast. I think he did work a lot of W6/7s on high bands a few days before that, but I slept through it. So it goes.
It's still funny to me that I was really worried about this operation, and not at all about 3Y0J.
