[ADXA] Congrats to EJ, TX5S stuff

[Dennis Schaefer]

George, I did see you in the list when I got up to try again.  He was gone
from FT8 and on CW then, so I thought surely the CW pileup would be
fierce.  I can't run any power on FT8 but 400 watts was enough to get
through the pile on CW in about 4 or 5 calls.

I've worked them on 14 slots, 6 CW, and 3 SSB, so they have a good mix of
modes.

They should have one more good day on 80 at least, so maybe John can get
them there.

73,
Dennis
