I just worked it in CL51. It was calling CQ and I got a response 
on my first call. It was -05 dB and I was +05 dB with 100W to a 
5 band trapped vertical (raised with 4 raised tuned radials.

  Here's a neat operation using a KX3. Thanks to this "heads 
up" from Rusty, I just

worked it on 20M FT8. Go to the link below to read about the operation, click on
links at the bottom of the page to see details of the station (KX3, computer,
audio and control interface), then click on the Portal to see where they are. 
For
those who are chasing the CQ Field award (for which Rusty was alerting me),
they're currently in CL51.

  Hi Garry and Jim,
  ...  This afternoon I worked KH6JF/mm in Grid CL (we all 
need it).

KH6JF is operating on FT8 on 20m. Apparently it does not call CQ, but it will
respond to stations who call it (that's how it worked for me anyway).
