[ADXA] Congrats to EJ, TX5S stuff

[WB5JJJ]

Well, I did work him on my 100w and a wire at 05:58z after an hour or so
trying.  I had 3 contacts back in 2013 on SSB with Clipperton, so I only
need the other bands.  160m was not even considered as an option.  I did
hear that he was on 6m, so that's a possibility some morning as he is
within range.

One of the others that apparently did not make the LiveStream logging list
was our buddy BHS.  He was trying FT8 alongside me as we chatted on HoIP
all along.  He's still trying on CW, SSB and whatever to get him on 80m.
