[ADXA] Another Great JA Opening on 6

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

Another great JA opening on 6. Stay tuned as it may pop back still 
tonight.

Using a make shift dupe sheet (you old dog contesters remember those, 
don't you!) I copied about 90 different JA's tonight. I did NOT get on 
and work any of them simply because I was lurking in the bushes for an 
elusive HL that I have missed four times over the past 33 years.

The first one, I seem to recall was during the HUGE 1987 opening. K5UR 
nabbed one then and I missed it. During a later JA opening I was out on 
business and missed it again, strike 2! The other evening during the big 
opening HL3GOB was on but no copy/decode then.....strike 3. A couple of 
nights ago a few JA's were coming in. HL3GOB was on and made it as far 
as eastern OK...W5LDA and N5OK worked him but no prop to Arkansas. So, 
tonight I was in wait mode ready to pounce. HL3GOB was on but no copy. 
Finally, there he was for about a 4 minute opening and I nabbed him. 
Once confirmed that will put be at 2998 on the DX Challenge total, just 
two shy of the magic 3000.

Good to see a gud number of ADXA folks in the JA pile tonight.
