I heard a ZL on CW last night but never got a callsign and then they 
were gone.  Moved to FT8 and was able to work ZL4AS with a -18.  He was 
hearing me much better.  Made some other CQ's and nothing.

KV0Q was on for the CQ 160 CW as was K0RF.  KV0Q is pretty close to me.  
I think he did a single 80 for the ARRL CW.
