[ADXA] 3D2 Stations On 17M FT8

[Sandy Hutson]

  Always something interesting if you tune around a bit in a blind, knob twisting way or get some hints on DX Summit and other posted DX spotting sites. I found myself looking for another Poland station with another special call. Think about 10 are out there making QSOs according to the website...
  Stay safe and cool Steve! Glad the Memphis TN-AR repaired bridge is opening up tomorrow over the Mississippi river. Boy, do I remember the original old bridge in the 1950s when we lived there and came back to AR occasionally. Memories!! 😊   Gotta get there so see Sonny Flinn and perhaps you too if available.  
  Spoke to Wink Martindale last weekend who was attending and judging the annual Elvis Impersonator contest in Branson at the Dick Clark Theater. Knew Wink in 1956 and danced on his Saturday show many times.. He is almost 87 years old now. We have a close mutual friend, Brenda Lee from Nashville whom I chatted with on the phone 2 weeks ago. Knew her dating back to the 1970s when I was in Hot Springs and treated many entertainers at the Vapors Lounge if they got sick, etc.. Memories, yet again!! 😁 👍

For heck of it, worked 20+ DX stations on 14 CW today in a 90 minute span. Strange call on one was SP1980LL. Look it up! HI  Always some special “event” that shows up for a week or a weekend or a single day. Lot of “certificates” floating out there if you wanna chase unusual things/events and then spend a couple of bucks in getting a special wall decoration! 😊 
 
Some of the special calls are just for this year and maybe not again until another 5 years.. I liked the Route 66 award a few years ago where I got the last station with only an hour to go in the 48 hour period. I did put that on the wall!
