Would be an ATNO for me (#322) but don't hold out much hope to work them from Sacramento on a 20m dipole or the vertical. Been chasing T6T (another ATNO) for a year and never have heard him.
Still, will be listening on the short path. No chance predicted for the long path.
Hope springs eternal in the heart of the DX'er!

I got T6T one evening 20M CW with little effort while everyone else was calling the VU4.
First or second call. I did not get VU4 this time around.
I did some checking VOA/K6TU W5/W6 to VU4 and EP with vertical antenna.
W5 slightly better than W6 on EP. Guess who have to call through ?
W6 was much better to VU4 than W5. I used San Diego kind of DM12 and my area EM22, same latitudes.
VOA does not seem to account for LP.
IMHO W5 and W6 are equally poor to many polar paths.
BTW W5 district across is same as Brussels to Moscow.
I need this one mobile, and hehehe on low bands.
Haha work EP mobile on low bands.
It might happen ?
