Nice 6-meter FT8 QSO with Warwick E51WL on Penrhyn Atoll, North Cook Islands just now! Took a bit of effort to complete the Q, but we got there in the end. Distance: 6480 km.

No 6-meter beam here. Just using the horizontal skyloop antenna, around 80 metres long and averaging 7 meters high.

HCJB was also my first QSL in 1968. It may have been a "first" for many people because of its powerful Andean signal, and the station actively promoted QSLs in many of its programs.
