[ADXA] Finished my WAS tonight

[WB5JJJ]

I've had several "snoozers" message me saying pretty much the same thing.
Wife had them watching a movie and such.  Whatever floats HER boat -- WINS
!!!!!  Always.

I was about to shut down for the night and was just doing some
"housekeeping" preparing to install latest JTAlert when they broke in.  Now
the 10BWAS is in the books.  I've got many awards now, I can't hardly keep
track of them.  Still missing DXCC on 160m (only 14 due to lousy antenna),
80m (only 80 due to lazy op) and 6m (only 66 due to --- well propagation
mostly), and at least one DXCC on the other bands, 3 have 2.  As for 6m
grids, I've got over 610 of them confirmed so far.

Just got another GS confirmed for FFMA.  Now at 449 with just 39 (some will
be almost impossible) to go.
I'll have an update to the ADXA spreadsheet when I get 11 more Challenge
Points.
