[ADXA] ZF5T Home Stretch

[Joel Harrison]

I want to provide two additional “awards” in addition to Jon KI5UCZ receiving the “Strongest signal on 160” award.

Randy W5ZJ gets the 160 “Early Bird” award for nabbing us 1 hour BEFORE our sunset and his. Nice job, Randy! 

The “Just under the wire” award goes to Nick WA5BDU for nabbing us on 160 just before the contest end. KM5G was watching the action and we both stated “GOT HIM!”

There is still time if you haven’t, as we are currently running on 20-15-10 and will also have 160-80-40 rolling as well as the sunsets about an hour before the 2359z end today.
