    I think mine is Japan from Denver. I’ve done it a couple times but only with FT8. Still want a CW contact there!

    Last weekend I worked Japan, New Zealand and Indonesia from our club station in McDade, TX on FT4. I don’t recall the distance but it’s up there. Of course, the antenna was at 80ft and it was 100W.

      I still need to get proficient with morse code. I was trending toward that goal last year, but deviated off the path.
