[ADXA] Any 15 Meter Copy on FT8WW?

[Earl]

GM Joel,

About the same here Joel. But I figured there was no way to work him 
with that JA pileup. Just listened for a bit then moved on.

Having lots of fun with the Congo bunch. A good warmup for Bouvet. ;-))

Hope everyone is getting Crozet in there log as it may not happen again 
for quite a while.

Good DX, 73 Earl N5ZM..
