Using only CW, I have 142 contacts as of now.
I haven't calculated the time, but it is probably about 5
hours total, as I had other things going on today and this
evening. When I left home tonight at about 01:00Z, Japan was
still very strong into my part of Mississippi. I too worked
a bunch of Russians this morning, but haven't yet heard ZL
or VK signals.
I will play with it a little more tomorrow.
