HF2V and 40m pile-up : JY4CI in the log

That was a fight to get through the big pile-up with my 100W only...!!!!

I was listening to Rafiq from the beginning of the week working on 40m at around 20:00z.
But each time he was calling EU, there was a BIG BIG mess, zoo, or whatever other words, to qualify the people calling him.
Yesterday, he started for the time of the week calling by numbers, and I could get through.
Real 5/9 here (not 5/9+++++ like i heard sometimes), that was enough to make the "short" QSO.

A new one of course on 40m :-)

SP : i also heard very weakly JA8BMK on 40m (right at my S7 noise level here)..But I couldn't make the QSO...Maybe another time, this is not the bert season on 40m !
