[ADXA] Nope , not on FT8 …

[HamOP]

No, Jay left out a comma in his first sentence. HI   
   He meant San, just worked OZ8ABE ( Jay did ), and He (the OZ8) gave him (Jay) a -09 and Jay gave a -13 to the OZ8. Then Jay tells me with my 6m beam and amp that I could work them, but Jay does not know I sold my 6m tower and rotor months ago, and the beam is laying on the 7 foot roof of my lawn mower shack with no coax or rotor attached. It is a 5 ele M2 on 18 foot boom and is for sale cheap! I will just use my Moseley HF on its 15m segment for my 6m antenna. 
   So, as I said, I can use SSB and CW and RTTY using my 7600 at 50-60 watts and using my PRO57B…  I already had worked the OZ many years ago. 
  I should have gone to someone’s house who operates FT8 and used their setup to work a couple of new ones in Europe using my call. Jay taught me how to do that months ago, so I have the knowledge of how to read the printout (tho I am color blind) and send a repeat call or confirm a QSO and touch keyboard keys etc.  But, I have NOT wanted to interrupt an ADXA member and keep them from working new ones for themselves! IIWII
  That’s the end of the story. What a difference a “comma” makes. LOL LOL

73 de jay/w5jay..

Paul..
   I only hear the audio of strong NA FT8 stations calling up around 50313. The DX Summit reports are giving -20 to -12dB audio reports, so NO WAY that SSB or narrow CW would be possible into EU or anywhere out of NA. Go get 'em and hope you can decode and be heard in EU for some new ones. I keep monitoring DX Maps and DX Summit every day and NO CW or SSB reports today. IIWII.
San    good morning to ya'
