[ADXA] Minami Torishima - JD1/M

[Steven Rutledge]

I hate this but I'm "pretty sure" I worked Take this morning at 0922Z, 
7003, up one.� I could hear his call distinctly but very weak.� I was 
afraid to waste any time hoping he would build so I went after him.� 
Unfortunately, he took a fade but I heard my call.� It was one of those 
tough ones.� I wish there was a way to check but unfortunately not until 
he returns.� So, should I attempt an "insurance" contact again?� Maybe 
I'll hear him on 30 and I won't look so foolish.� I only need five CW 
entities for all of them so this would be a huge deal if I can get his 
card.

Thanks again Pat for posting this operation.� Somehow I missed it.� Too 
busy staying inside doing nothing.

73,

Steve
