For some reason, I find great joy in working the many skilled operators in Japan. When I first got on HF, I deemed Japan and Australia as my 2 most wanted countries. I first worked Japan on 20m SSB phone in January of 2018 with 100w and a wire antenna. I've since worked many Japanese stations on FT8 and SSB. Recently, I've found that 10m and 12m FT8 yielded many Japanese stations too. About 7:30PM, I was tuning through the 12m SSB band when I found JE1RXJ "Tack"-san working US stations. I only had 100w and a OCF dipole, but made a call to him anyway. He returned quickly and made a nice QSO. This was my first time working Japan on 12m SSB phone! I think his antenna did most of the work...and possibly solar cycle 25. None the less, it was a fun contact and I thought it was worth sharing.

That’s awesome. I have an OCF as well and have been trying to get a Japan contact as well here in FL.
