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

[J. Setcer]

I'm Addicted too.
I am humble enough to know I'll never be in the same League as you Big Gun
ADXA guys.
But I still have the "Bust-A-Pile-Up" addiction.
Even with my modest station, and modest skills... I hear the DX station,,,
I listen to the Operator's pattern. I find where he is listening...Then, I
WALK IN AND I GET MINE!
Then I jump out of the chair, dance around the room, and scream like a
little Indian Girl...
My name is Jonathan, and "I'll Pass with That".

Party on Hose Head.
