EPC WW DX PSK125 Contest : WOW

This is the very first time for EPC conduct a World Wide Contest on BPSK contest especially on BPSK125. Just like my previous post this is a good opportunity to gain and get work some 'rare' station using BPSK125.
For myself; this is also my very FIRST attempting on BPSK125 and sure got being impressed! Why? Because it more faster than rtty or BPSK63 or even bpsk31 the previous bpsk variants!
It starts on 12.00Z but could get no station on 20m or on 15m. Then I decide to try on the next morning and voila, I got some on 2om.
My first QSO is with RA9FLP, very strong signal on S/P mode. Then got JA3JM and several W-land such as K7RE, WA&NB, KQ7Q and N7PAQ thanks guys for working on the new mode.
The strong signal from JA was JA1HGY I could work him just on a first try.
My courious QSO was with Hisami, 7L4IOU, I've several met him on various digital contest. He told me that my signal is strong but he could not decode my printing although I've adjust my mic gain. Finally I lowered my frequency and sure he's got the code, nice. Thanks Hisami for added more patience giving me the report.
Due to the heavy rain on my location I ended my transmision and finally logged only 11 Q's on this mode.
Not bad at all but I believe this is the new experienced for working on BPSK variants.
More speed than RTTY and shaking my adrenaline also.
Hope to catch you on the next screen, and hope sure on bpsk125.
