[ADXA] ZF5T Home Stretch

[rcurt at centurytel.net]

Thanks for the awesome award. My granpappy always told me you gotta make hay while the sun shines. I never knew what that meant until now. Congratulations to Jon and Nick too!


I tuned by you after sunset and you were a s9+20 on the inverted L, a full 15db over my noise. 10-160 all were a big signal into here. Congrats on the awesome finish!


Tell everyone down in ZF that Randy said "hay".

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.
