[ADXA] 100 on 80

FB Dennis!  Nice goal to meet.  Your 1/4wave slopers are doing the job. 

 

As ZN pointed out this morning, you just never know when big enhancement is going to happen…you have to be in there to catch it.  I worked Ed, KH2L, on 80M CW on April 1st, 2011 @ 10:45UTC and he was seriously loud…over S9.  It was April’s Fool day and thought it might be N5ZM screwing with me,  so I  emailed Ed  to ask….was that really you?  It was and in the email thread we discovered that Ed had worked in the dive shop where I had my tanks refilled back in 1971…Marianas Divers.  Our eyeball QSO predated our real QSO by about 40 years. 

Pat, W5VY

Met one of my goals....PU3MEM was #100 to confirm on 80M.  That makes 8 band DXCC so now I guess it's time to get more serious about 160 next winter.  I also worked Elvira on 15, and will be looking for her on the low bands.  Plenty more unworked on 80!

 

A couple more confirmed, bringing me up to 1652 Challenge points.  Watch out, George, in 5 or 6 more years, I might catch you!

 

73,

Dennis/RZ
