Nice Morning on 160 meters

Greyline propagation is always a plus. A couple of weeks ago, I thought I worked my 1st Australian station on 160m. Unfortunately the contact wasnt complete. Since then I was mostly trying to work the higher frequency
bands to complete my 1,500 DXCC Challenge band-points. With that complete
I turned back to 160m.
As usual Ive heard multiple Brazil, Argentinian, and other South American stations on 160m, but they never hear me. I did work Montenegro and am awaiting LotW confirmation. That gave me some hope.
This morning around local sunrise (1130UTC) I saw Japan and Australia
coming in pretty strong. I worked both, and have received a LotW
confirmation from VK3NX (thanks Charlie). I also worked Peter VK5PW, the station I had worked two weeks earlier, as well JE7GXQ in Japan.
So I now stand at 94 confirmed countries in LotW, with possible 2 more
coming in, and one QSL card. This renewed my hope that I might be able to
get DXCC on 160m by next spring.
