Yes, TT8SN was vigilant about uploading to LoTW. By the time uploaded
myself and got ready to shut down and go to bed my Q was already confirmed.
I have no idea who's operating over there but they are on top of their game.

TT8SN has been QRV on 160 all week long but on FT-8. I had mentioned on
KST last evening that it was too bad he didn’t try some CW. OM3SX must
have felt the same way as he “spotted” TT8SN on 1834 with a request for CW
at 0451z. Lo and behold, 15 minutes later OM3SX spots TT8SN on 1834. I
was on the band at the time tuning around and working various station.
When I saw the second spot I went to 1834 and there was TT8SN calling CQ
listening up 1. He had just a few callers so I was fortunate to be able
to get him in the log for a new one. He quickly got a large pile, mostly
EU as a lot of NA had already gone to bed. He worked a large number of EU
stations and a fair number of NA. He had a very good Q rate, was hearing
well, and had a 559 signal here with very little QSB. He stayed on
feverishly working the pile until 0536, 20 minutes after his SR. His
signal faded just a small amount when he finally went QRT and was still Q5
copy. Since he had so much success on CW hopefully he’ll return again on
that mode as there is big demand. Good luck to all!
