[ADXA] Starting today, only chasing needed B/M

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

QSL San. 

I couldn't care less about the "Leader Board". That doesn't interest or
attract me in the least. What I am addicted to, however, is a pileup. I
just can't stay out of one. I don't care who it is, where they are or
how many times I have worked other DXPeditions in that country.....I've
gotta get in there and kick some east coast butt, walk over a W6 and
just plain humiliate them from W5 land! I just can't resist doing that. 

If you're a weenie DX'er you need to learn how to be a smarter op than
me and beat me in the pileups!!  :-)) 

Do NOT recommend therapy for me or saddle up a posse of ADXA folks for
one of those "interventions", just stay out of my way!! I'm a ham with
an addiction!!!   :-)))) 

It is a contagious disease and some of you other ADXA folks have
contracted it. You know who you are so my advice to you is, "Party on
Garth!" (That's Wayne's World speak for "GET ON AIR AND WORK THEM!)

An ADXA member needing the station for an ATNO is more important than my watching a leaderboard. I have almost all band/modes confirmed for XR0 (2016 trip) and 7P8 (2016) - RTTY/SSB/CW - and will only call if I need an isolated B/M..  But for sure, I will call on 160m IF I hear them, since ATNO for me. This is my new policy. So on RTTY, CW and SSB I will only be calling for an ATNO of some sort.
