#189 DXCC 9L1JT Sierra Leone

I first went to chase Ascension Island on 30m  when I saw the spot for Sierra Leone on 17m.  Since I was just there for CW night with N0TR, I was able to quickly get back on 17m and found the DX working with a straight key or a bug.  He was very copyable though.  He had a reasonable size pileup.  It took about 15 minutes of calling before he acknowledged me.  I later found Ascemsion Island ZD8O on 20m CW but could not break through the pileup before the DX called QRT.
