[ADXA] Latest 3Y0J Update 1345z Wednesday 2/8

[Steve, W5KI]

Agree Steve,

Didn't work them.  I also stayed up till (finally) their signal got 
solid copy... Amazing the signal levels of some of the QRM.  Way over 
S9+.  Very short window when I had good copy and when they went QRT.  
Massive pileup left behind, LOL.  Hope that changes, hihi.

Really surprised at the [obvious] number of different stations involved 
in the QRM.  Add in an abundance of police, and it makes it rough.
