[ADXA] Triple Play Award

[Richard Harris]

Well, not a DX award but an interesting challenge. Many ADXA members
probably
have got this one. When I moved to Colorado, this award was one I was going
to
try from my shack - Oops, I live in an apartment and don't have a shack!
Now definitely a challenge! Over a few months, I managed to work 49 states
on CW and SSB with the venerable Icom 706MKIIG and Hustler antennas on
the Mazda.Then over to FT-8 - How to do it? Solution - Daughter's house for
power for
the PC and Icom 7300 with the Hustler antennas. Working away to 49 states
confirmed on LOTW. The holdout? Wyoming. Too close. Then the ham spirit
comes with the offer from a ham in Cheyenne (only about 110 miles away) to
give it a try. After several tries on 40m, WY is in the bag on all three
modes. Will be buying
him lunch the next time I'm in Cheyenne! Where there's a will, there is a
way!
A very neat award!  73 Rick AI5P
