Started calling within the first few minutes they were QRV and the pileup blew up rapidly. Made it through after a few minutes on 30m CW QSX UP 10.2 for an ATNO 73Mason - KM4SII
Got in on 30m after maybe 15-20 mins.. pileup was getting big.. worked up 12. Big sigs. Need a few band fills.. hoping for 160 and really hoping for 6m.
QRV on 30m CW as of 2230z on 20 March. I saw the announcement on their Facebook group, threw my call in once and got through!

That's the single hardest Asian DXCC entity from here that isn't Scarborough Reef or DPRK. Only worked 5 Qs in 22 years, and none since 2014.

I have more 7 QSOs and 2 more bands with XZ than JD-M. And I have more QSOs with Scarborough than I do with Turkmenistan. I'm 0 for P5, though. But of the active or somewhat-active entities in that part of the world, JD1-M is in rarified air for the US East Coast.
