20M was open around 0500. I heard a special event station in Japan for the world rally, JM7OLW strong as always, and worked RU0LX/mm Viktor (EPC#196) again in the Bering Sea (GL AP11ae) on 14.071. Viktor was running 80w into a vertical from a Kenwood and said seas were calm and it was 11C. Viktor gave me a 579 to me 25W from the K2 to the loop.

Shortly afterwards K6ACJ Bill fron Huntington Beach, CA called me and he worked some Asiatic Russian DX OM wou couldn't hear me.
