[ADXA] DX is Dead!

[HamOP]

Well, in April I only had a few QSOs; VI9NI Norfolk 9 QSOs. 

My 60m activity way down this time of year and when “in” it is taken up with FT8 guys. Just wish I had better antennas and could chase on 80-30 better and challenge a few of our ADXA members. IIWII …

No, it isn't however you might come to that conclusion given the huge 
flurry of activity on our reflector has gone silent from what it was a 
few weeks ago.

You have heard me mention on several occasions that DX'ing involves very 
long periods of silence and boredom interspersed with brief, intense 
moments of excitement! A few weeks ago we had a number of DXPeditions 
occurring at the same time and we were all intently focused on working 
them. These have now all been completed, 3Y0I has thrown in the towel 
for now and spring is here so we have other projects on our plate.

In looking at my log my last DX entry was C5DL on 160 meters on April 4. 
All of my 160 meter RX antennas have been pulled up and stored in the 
shop for summer hay cutting and I have other activities on my mind now 
that the weather is very nice.

Does that mean I'm off the air until this fall? Absolutely not! If a 
DXCC country comes on the air that I need I will be in there terrorizing 
the pile up! There is a ton of DX on the air. If you subscribe to W3UR 
Bernie's newsletters or follow DX World you know what is out there. Some 
of you need these and you know what to do without me saying it....but 
you know I'm going to say it anyway "GET ON THE AIR AND WORK IT!"

Our 2019 2nd Quarterly Meeting is June 15. The ADXA EC is currently 
finalizing a location.

GL es DX,
