[ADXA] Finally Got 6m Confirmations

[Sandy Hutson]

Great chasing and pulling teeth! Hi   Got my 6m DXCC a few years ago but never got enuff for endorsement sticker since F2 was VOID last cycle 24 and nothing in this cycle. 3 and 4 E skip hops to EU especially were not getting into mid USA like 3 short hops to east coast of NA. Last F2 to EU for me was in 2015 to HA8 and LZ2 and before that 5C1 and ZB2 in 2011. But did get F2 to A35, FK8 and E51 to the Pacific in 2012.. Lucky catches for me. Such fun when I was on 6m. No 6m now unless I were to use my 5 band beam and it will allow 21mc to be used somehow. That info was relayed to me by a 6m DXer a year ago. My SWR is 1.5:1 … strange.
Again, great chasing and hanging in there, Steve! Hope there will be F2 to EU this cycle 25 in another couple of years.

Yesterday was a decent day on 6m, even though working everything to the south was like pulling teeth.  Had to wait to get through to HH2AA and TG9AMD.  But both in the log and now confirmed in LOTW.
With 18 QSLs now to be pulled out of the "box" and card-checked, together that makes:  #100 and #101    Finally!!  
This morning we put in the online App for any open LOTW DXCC credits.  As soon as that is completed at the ARRL, I'll find one of our ADXA card-checkers and maybe, finally, get up-to-date on all DXCC cards ... but especially finish off the certificate for 6m DXCC.
