[ADXA] ARRL CW DX contest - W5RZ

[Steve, W5KI]

Dennis, sounds like a good effort to me!  With me a slacker anymore.  
Played around working the loud ones with some S&P.  Then on Sunday 
afternoon, opened up the Telnet window and changed over to Assisted.  
Probably should have done that to get a few more contacts in the first 
part of the contest.

Razorback sports dented some prime time on Saturday (Baseball & 
Basketball).  Any attempt to turn eyes toward the bands was swiftly met 
with the constant stream of texts from the two sons (one on each 
Coast).  That has become our standard chat routine during games and I 
wouldn't change it.

160m antenna off air, I think lightning strike to remote switch.  And 
didn't give 80m much effort, except to look for ZF5T a few minutes. Just 
worked them on 20-15-10m though.  My minor surgery on the abdomen is 
pretty much healed, so just waiting for some warm weather to get out and 
finally fix some of these neglected antennas from the past few years, 
such as I have.

314 x 154 = 145k.  15m by far the most fun.  Great to see it. Looking 
forward to other ADXA soapbox comments here.

73, Steve, W5KI
