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!

Great times are at hand, and soon there will be DX for all—although more for some than for others.

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  ;D

Sorry about that pileup. I think I was the first one to spot them on the cluster :)

I paid for it by wading into an impossible pileup for my white whale, JD1-M. Op had a P5-sized pileup. Couldn't even find one QSX in 90 minutes of trying. He's still there but working one every 45 seconds and none on the east coast. 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.

Only need CY0S on 160m, may do the marathon this year so worked on 40m cw.

No idea if I'll hear them on 160.

Didn't realize JD1-M was on, so worked that also.

Big split up 15 kHz nearly to 10.122 on 30M ... that's where I got them anyway. They were moving up and down the band - finally got in front of them.

Still listening at 02:45 UTC and there is some industrial jamming - like government jamming - very loud here in Florida.

Harder than XZ or EZ?

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.

I'll certainly keep watch for him. I had to adjust my alerts as he comes in as Ogasawara, not Minami Torishima. JD1/M would be at ATNO. It would be nice to see a good size dxpedition go. As you stated - a rare one here on the US East Coast.
