I managed to work the 7P8EI in Lesotho today on 28 MHz CW, my first DX contact in about 12-months!
I have no idea if it's a new country or not on 28 MHz but to be honest, I don't really care. I'm not too bothered about chasing DX but there's just something nice about working Lesotho on CW on 28 MHz.
The path is shown below. I worked them at about 14:00 UTC so the propagation prediction shows that the contact was possible. In reality, the signal to me was just above the noise... weak but workable.
I was using 100-watts to a vertical half-wave antenna.
