[ADXA] VU2IBI on FT8 - then QSY to CW

[Bill Priakos]

Wish more situations like this would occur:  I was working EU on 17m FT8 and was on line with JTAlert (tab view, messaging window) – got a text from VU2IBI asking if he was reading out; he needed Arkansas.  I told him to stand by and let me change the beam direction to SP over the pole. He began to read as he was working an EA3.  I called him and he came right back with a +01.  He was -15 BUT I had a thought that maybe, just maybe we could make it on CW.  I texted him back and asked if we could try it – just made the QSO, him 559, me, 579 with lots of QSB.  THAT was fun….would be nice if we could do more of that.

73, Bill
