[ADXA] VP8PJ LoTW confirmations on all contacts

[WB5JJJ]

Overnight, VP8PJ verified all 4 of my contacts with them.  I had about
given up on working them as their FT8 was always a massive pileup.  I heard
them just once on 20m SSB and they were very weak and again a pileup, so I
didn't even try as there was so much QSB on their signal.

Then one evening, I found them calling CQ on 30m FT8 and worked them
quickly.  Moved to 40m and bang, again worked.  Off to 80m and a
triple-play in the log, all in about an hour.  Then a couple days later on
17m, they were on CW.  Loud and clear so I gave a call -- success.  I
really wanted a couple of SSB contacts, but I'll take the FT8 and CW as
they count.  Took a bit, but they finally copied me and I called it a big
success and left them to others to work.  Now, I'm only 2 away from the
1000 Challenge mark.  Lots of other changes to my status as well, so when I
hit 1000, I'll submit my updated info to the ADXA site.

I got on to their OQRS page after the Hamfest where I found 4 green check
marks.  The site was swamped and it took forever to load pages, but it all
finally went through to PayPal and back.  $5.00 for direct cards and LoTW.
They are my highest (or lowest) on the CL Most Wanted at #16.  Who is
next?
