We investigate real-time, long-haul HCF transmission up to 11,154 km using ~360-km recirculating loop with ~120-km average span length and 34.5-dBm launch power. Data-rates of 25.6 Tb/s@ 1,439.2 km, 20.6 Tb/s@2,878.4 km are achieved with fully loaded ~130-Gbaud C-band signals and 10.3 Tb/s beyond 6,000km.
