Although I had a hard time forcing myself out of bed at 5 in the morning 
on Saturday, it was good that I did. Tuning to the DX window, the first 
station I heard was KL7RA CQing loud and clear and getting no replies. 
Got AK in the log. Then later that evening I heard you and got CT 
logged. Thanks to both of you for new ones confirmed via LoTW. Only four 
left (RI, ME, WV, and MS) to complete my quest for CW WAS via LoTW. 
(I've actually worked WV and MS, but no LoTW confirmations.)
