With age comes experience and also a smaller bladder. I often check my radio at odd hours of the morning because of the latter. Today happened to be a first for me; when I checked, I saw that Alaska had been showing up on my screen a bit earlier.
Multiple times between 1:50 AM and 2:50 AM (15:50 to 16:50 UTC), AL7TC was visible, between -14 and -18.
I started calling Terry shortly after 3 AM my time, and he was hearing me almost every pass. It took a bit before I heard him, but I did! I often try to capture the moment, but this time my fingers were trembling quite a bit and I missed my usual screen shot. But I did manage to snag a section of it.
Many thanks to Terry, for being on tonight, and for completing my WAS on 160-meters. He was nice enough to upload to LotW quickly.
Now how the heck do I get back to sleep? Then again, this is ham radio, who needs sleep!
