[ADXA] VP6D - Dennis

[HamOP]

Great job, Dennis..  I am just not into FT8 at this point in my DXing life but glad so many of our ADXA members like the hound/fox etc chasing and hearing the weak ones. Just wish when signals are so loud and FT8 not needed, that they would do a couple of more bands on RTTY before leaving in 3 days. Only needed on RTTY and happy to have them in my log. Guess no 60m unfortunately.
Again, congrats on a great job of chasing those band modes. Next VP6D might be in 10+ years, so you can sit back and relax  now. Hi I was gone 3 days and missed 28SSB and 80SSB. No big deal especially since without FT8 I can never catch up with the ‘big dogs’ in the ADXA. LOL

Good VP6D expedition so far:
CW - 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, 10
SSB - 40, 20, 17, 15, 12
FT8 - 80, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12

Except for 160, I need them on 80 SSB and 10 SSB and FT8.
I heard him once on 80 SSB but not really good enough to call him with the DX contest QRM all around.  I did hear Earl work him, though.
I'm not counting on 80, but keeping a close ear on 10 meters and thinking about a 160 meter antenna for the future!

DXA and the VP6D log search show slightly different totals, but that seems to be the result of some FT8 log systems problems.  
I'm not too worried about the FT8 contacts, but all were made quickly with about 30 watts and it is fun to watch the process. 

73,
Dennis
