I spent a half hour calling 7P8DA on 40 CW last night ... does that count?

Oddly enough, he peaked on my loop antenna way after his sunrise and when
everyone else who was piling up seemed to quit. When I worked him, he had
no USA pileup to speak of.
I've noticed this phenomenon with my loop before. It hears low-angle
signals when the dipole can't.
