[ADXA] Today's Happy Dance

[Jay Bromley]

Hi Gang,

Well there is a funny story to go along with this (among others).  I swore I
wasn't going to email Yuris who was VU4W as the OQRS card info and when the
LOTW uploading will begin is on the VU4W website.  However I couldn't stand
it.  So last Sunday night. I sent an email asking (more like begging) for
LOTW confirmation, Yuris says the most of the cards are in the mail!  Even
some have made it to Japan.  The LOTW process will begin after all the cards
are gone.  I think there is also another expedition to get caught up on.
Like most folks, Yuris has more than he can handle and many projects in the
works.

 

So the very next day I see a QSL card in the mailbox from Yuris, but it says
WQ5T on it.  I was excited for Kathy, but like in a pileups she normally
gets through first!  I share my station with her, but I am passionate about
it where she just enjoys the novelty of it.  Where I do a happy dance/fist
pump when I get a new one, she will go something like>>>he got me while
putting a mild smile on her face.  Plus she loves the social part of ham
radio and anything I can help her with feel more as one of the gang helps.  

 

She will tell you since the beginning of June, she knew I was watching the
mailbox.  Something I don't normally do.  Yesterday was no exception, as we
were going to a doctor's appointment, she checked the box and from across
the street gave me a frown as my card took the scenic route!  Today I open
the box and saw the envelope on top!  

 

My online DXCC paper work is done complete.  Now a trip to Mr. Rory to have
the card checked.  Kathy says she will wait on LOTW confirmation.  However,
I am not waiting!  I am sure once my card clears and is verified by the ARRL
DXCC Kathy's LOTW confirmation will beat me out again!
