Really ? From DX Summit, pretty much the same frequency and within an hour
later, if it's
Saturday you're referring to:
RW4PL 7020.5 EE5E . . ..... . :-)) 0737 17 Feb 2007
K7UA 7020.9 EE5E strong 0805 17 Feb 2007
There were over 100 EE5E spots on DX Summit, and exactly one ES5E spot,
hours away from the time of your QSO.
NE3H 7007.4 ES5E 0214 17 Feb 2007
Also, from ES5TV:
73
Tonno
ES5TV
"p.s. the only ES5 active in ARRL DX was ES5RR from my station, no ES5E call
assigned yet:)))"
Then we go to the Estonian callbook online at
http://www.estpak.ee/~andrew/ham/es_callbook.htm
No ES5E
