Topband: K1N 5,399 q's on 160 M

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

I worked them on 160 in just a few calls with my 80m INV V and 500 watts 
on CW.  Timing and luck are everything.  It was super early just after 
our sunset.  Yes I was shocked.

For being the #1 needed country they were very easy to work for the USA.
