Just worked FO4BM at 0430 GMT on 20 meters, Phillipe in French Polynesia with just a 100 watts and my simple OCFD. He was at about 5/7 here in SoMo and he gave me a 5/7 as well. I do believe in all my years as a ham operator, this is the first FO station I've ever worked. I actually thought I was running 600 watts but realized after the contact, I had forgotten to switch my amp to "operate" .
I almost didn't answer his QRZ as the pileup was enormous but he came right back to me on my first call. Git 'er Done!
