[ADXA] T32TTT on 80 FT8

[Dennis Schaefer]

Thanks, Jay.   I did give them a small love offering last year.  The
problem is that all of my Q’s showed up on the log search but 80M would not
match and come up on the QSL request.    I got T32 Lotw credit from the
2023 operation on a couple of bands but not on 80.   I might get a QSL card
someday.   Maybe this one will work out.

73,
Dennis
