Mike, if you go to clublog.org, search K5P DXpedition log for your call, and mouse over the greenie, you will see the operator for your QSO (his call and picture). I don't think they've uploaded this morning's QSO's yet but they are doing uploads several times a day.
W0GJ was the operator for my 160M QSO. Sharp looking guy!
