I worked you, too, Joel !!!  You were S5 and the next time I heard you, you were 40 OVER!  Love that top band!  I made just a few Q’s; you, ZF5T, C6AGU, and a few other FOC friends. 
 Was using the Viking II and 75A4 ( I got from K5YY in about ’79) 80 W into an Inverted L for top band.

73, all!  And YES, my vote is for the current slate of hard working ADXA officers!!!

You didn't miss a JA opening. I was lucky to snag just three and never could get HL5IUA to hear me. He couldn't hear anyone else either. He is usually boomin' in here in the mornings on 160 but
 he was very weak today so condx were not gud.
I've posted my score on 3830 in the SOHP category. I was not using any assistance, no skimmer, no internet, no DX cluster just just working the band. I ended up with 1490 QSO's, 83 sections and
 21 DX countries. The only section I missed was NT. Guess there were no moose available to activate it!. It is difficult to work a lot of EU in a contest like this. When the band fills up with wall to wall east coast stations my noise floor rises around 5 to
 10 dB so weak EU is simply buried.
Good to work everyone. It was really great to hear all of the ADXA folks on. When I listed who I heard I also forgot Pat, W5VY who was in the fray. There may have been others.
Anyway, another one in the bag and I'm glad I was able to participate in this one, even if it was at the cost of our not having an annual conference this year!
Now, next one??? Next weekend the ARRL 10 meter contest so some of you folks need a few on 10 that you can pick up next weekend. You know what to do....GET IN THERE!

Nice first night you had, Joel ....  Not many hours for me, and all S&P.  With conditions that looked good for two night in a row ... your score should huge.  Look forward to seeing how the rankings
 fill out.  Knowing AR was so well represented, I felt comfortable with only putting in a few hours, hihi.
Didn't get up for the JA's either morning, but maybe "next year".  Noticed my low dipole could easily work most stations I heard  ... so that's a "real bad sign!"  Haven't had a beverage up in
 many years, but might need to fight through the weeds & woods and do that again.

Hey, I worked your buddy, WB6JJJ last night in the 160 test last night.
Was gud to see ADXA folks WB5BHS, K5UR, K5VR, K9OZ and WA5BDU knocking off some Q's last night. There may have been others that I missed. I finished the first night with 1066 Q's, 82 of the 84
 sections and 15 DX. The DX seems down but we'll see what happens tonight. I did not find any EU during their SR last night and no JA's or SE Asia this morning. The DX activity was way down last weekend in CQWW.
The two sections I missed last night were Canadian sections NL and NT. Don't guess any moose were active last night.

George, WB5JJJ, has provided updated DXCC standings info.  George has been chasing DX pretty hard and managed to catch
 a good number.  He got an update from 7Q7RU yesterday that bumped him to 261 Mixed and 1152 on the Desoto Challenge.  He's added new band/mode counters across the bands.  Nice work George.

73,
Pat, W5VY
