[ADXA] LA5CI/P problem solved

[Dennis Schaefer]

I couldn’t get the online DXCC system to accept a card listed for LA5CI/P
on Jan Mayen (1965).   It defaulted to Norway on the list and wouldn’t let
me put anything else in.

I got thru to the DXCC desk and was told that Chrome was required to use
the online application.  That’s not what the site says, but I didn’t argue
too much.  I switched over to Chrome and had the same issue.  I called back
and spoke to Marge (?) who looked the callsign up and said the computer
system would not accept it, just write in Jan Mayen on the printed list.  A
couple of smart ADXA’ers had advised the same thing, and that turned out to
be the solution!

I had credit for Jan Mayen, but nothing at all showed up in the matrix.  I
probably submitted that card in my very first DXCC almost 60 years ago!
There were a couple of others that I had credit for but the matrix was
blank.  Maybe these will add just a few to my Challenge totals.

5N9DTG came thru so now I have 99 on 80M.

I found some good CW cards, which would have taken me over 300 on CW, but
they were before the 1975 cutoff.

My goals for 2025 - DXCC on 80, 300 on CW, and 1700 Challenge.  Should make
all 3.

73,
