[ADXA] Congrats to W5ZN and K5UR

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

Farewell??? 

I know they were supposed to QRT this morning and tear down during the
day time (their daytime. Its night there now) but they are still on the
air, in fact they are on 160 meters, 1831.7. Get in there tonight on 160
and try to work them. All of the BIG GUNS (me) worked them last night
along with a few weenies (UR, EJ). The op last night was extremely good.
Someone commented last night that they moved out of the S8 noise area to
a quite place running a generator for the low bands. They were hearing
very well last night. 

GET IN THERE if you can on 160.

I did use RTTY but the advent of more and more FT8/FT4, etc has made some big differences the past 5 years. Earl can vouch for that.  And with RTTY losing out to FT8 more and more, the band modes of those of us not doing FT8 has gone down a lot. Hey, IIWII. That's part of our DXing hobby and ups and downs, and you compete the best you can with what you got. Been there, done that for 63 years now. 😉

I have never worked 7Q on 160m but did work it on 80m 5 years ago. No certificates to brag about on any of the DXpeditons statistics on OQRS and Club Log, only QSLs in the files or the check marks on Club Log band modes going back a few years for all to see. 😊

Heard /? worked them on 40SSB but my QSO not in log, never heard them on 21SSB, and 10m CW would have been nice. Maybe next time. I know they had to work on low band antennas, fight QRN and weak signals and deal with power losses. Being on 'that side' is not always fun despite advanced planning, etc.
