[ADXA] JT curiosity and band totals chasing stuff (non FT8/FT4)

[Sandy Hutson]

   Tweaked my interest on my JT QSLs from 1.8 and 3.5mc. Back in those days, especially in the 80s, I always sent QSLs direct.  So happy about the SSB Q on 75m…
   JT0GM   3.8 SSB   Nov 24, 1982    Op was UV3GM Walt   QSL to POB in Ulan-Bator!
   JT0APE   1.8 CW   Nov 11, 1985    OP Serge   QSL to UZ3AZO
Unfortunately do not have on 40m ( should have been simple? ) or RTTY mode.  
  My last buro cards of a few days ago gave me 3 new ones on 40m and 1 on each 75m and 1.8mc confirmed on paper cards, so that helps me over the confirmed band totals of 2965 now with 6-7 on 30m, 18 and 24mc coming in during the past 3 months. Sure need to be on 1.8 to assist me now but not possible, no antenna up,  and 3.5 also difficult, especially with FT8 taking over things in past 2+ years. Not enuff on 14-28mc to really assist a lot except perhaps 24mc. 28mc will be beneficial in couple of more years with SSN increasing, but I likely will not be around to work ‘em, etc.. If 60m counted, many of us would be well over 3100 for sure. 😊
   Fun hobby and memories, mainly in the form of PAPER QSLs from decades ago. Many were in ink or even lead pencil print.  No LoTW confirmations for me. Tried to subscribe a few years ago and my PC failed!
Good DX during this weekend’s TEST… Go get’em

GM Scott,

In the past putting  'via Japan'  under the address has helped with Mongolia. Just an idea.

Good Luck,

73 Earl N5ZM..

He never got stronger than a -10 but that's pretty good for Thailand on my rig. But I'll get him one day. Then will just need VU for WAZ!
