According to their QRZ page, this group's DXpedition is about to end (they
show on their page that they will be active until Feb 13th)

Couldn't sleep well last night, so I got up very early and managed to catch
them before sun was up locally on the 160 meter band using the homebrew
tube transmitter and the Heathkit VF-1 VFO. I had heard them on some other
bands recently but wasn't ever able to work them due to the competition in
the pile ups they created.

It was great to work them this morning, luckily, before they shut down
their DX operations. I rarely get a chance to work El Salvador* and to
work this one on 160 meters with the homebrew transmitter rig was an extra
thrill. This also let's me add another country to my 160 meter countries
list.

* third contact with El Salvador - once on 30 meters, once on 12 meters and
now once on 160 meters in a 9 year span)
