For whatever reason, I sort of stopped chasing DX a couple of years ago. There are only so many hours in a day, and it can sometimes takes hours of patiently trying to contact a rare DX station. I knew that Desecheo Island had been on the air for weeks and would be an All Time New One (ATNO) for me, but I ignored it.
Until last night, that is, after some discussion of DX on our local 75-meter net. Right after the net, I contacted KP5/NP3VI on 30-meter CW. Later today, I worked them on 10/12/17-meter CW and 20-meter SSB as well.
Imagine my surprise when I found all contacts had already been uploaded into LotW!

There are excellent tools showing real-time QSOs as well as the status of the remote island station.
