Just worked FO4BM at 0430 GMT on 20 meters, Phillipe in French Polynesia with just a 100 watts. He was at about 5/7 here in SoMo and he gave me a 5/7 as well. I do believe in all my 40 years as a ham operator, this is the first FO station I've ever worked. I actually thought I was running 600 watts but realized after the contact, I had forgotten to switch my amp to "operate" 
.
I almost didn't answer his QRZ as the pileup was enormous but he came right back to me on my first call.
EDIT: OOPS...double tap on the post. Too late to delete, I guess.
