Got lucky, Fuji-29 was grazing my western horizon which is blocked partially by the Alaska range up to 10 deg. 7L3AEO pounced on my cw downlink during the brief mutual window. Orbit # 99016 max elev 7 deg, I'm doin the happy dance, between the numerous trees, neighbors roofs, sheds and who know's what else worked Japan again.

73 & Good DX to all
