<div style="color:black;font: 10pt arial;">Hello DXers,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I noticed 8Q7WX spotted on 17 CW by EU's very early this morning, a little before SR. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I could barely hear him, so a QSO wasn't doable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But he got stronger, maybe because of the propagation; or he pointed his beam to NA, or both.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I worked him at 1215 UTC or 7:15 EST. Had to send my call several times for him to get it correct.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>He was slow between answering any call that he worked. Sometimes 15 seconds or more. Same as 8Q7WM. Maybe high QRN. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was surprised to see a quick confirmation on ClubLog and LoTW. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>8Q7WM, on the other hand, has not uploaded his QSOs for about three days. So I can't tell if I had valid QSOs on 17 and 80.</div>
