[ADXA] Nice QSO with Ivo

[Scott Branyan]

Caught Ivo (OP2A/ON5CD) on 17m SSB this afternoon--I needed Belgium. It was
just after peak propagation and as signals began to fall off a little. He
wasn't busy, and we had a nice QSO. Like old friends.
 
He told me we had worked before on FT8 under his alternate callsign. He was
running 800w into a big Yagi. I told him thanks for doing the heavy lifting
and I was running barefoot into a Hexbeam 10ft off the ground. He said they
do amazingly well and a lot of expeditions use them. 
 
I looked at his QRZ page again and watched one of his expedition videos. A
very good one on C8T (Mozambique 2018). Check it out if you have the time.
Looks like they had fun.

Will send him a card though the bureau.
