I tried to work PY4AH Luiz in southeastern Brazil but he got into a ragchew in Portuguese and I gave up waiting. I switched to 15m and heard the tail end of one signal in 21.025 and then nothing, so I went to 20M PSK and heard VE6WIZ Don in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Don was running an Icom 706 MKIIG to an inverted vee and homebrew helix vertical. It wa 15F but not snowing in Edmonton. I had to QRT for teatime... 2005-12-31 00:10Z. Don was 579 here and he gave me 589. I was running the K5OOR amplifier at about 25W.
