[ADXA] Marion Is. on 7.080 F/H

[WB5JJJ]

Well the Russellville Mafia also worked him on 40m during the gray line
event for him after OUR midnight hour.  I was seeing just an occasional
stripe, then it became almost every cycle - 2 compound streams (4 calls).
First it was John (BHS), of course, then I got my shot a few minutes later
and Charles (K5CS) followed.  Then our DX buddy Lanny (K1LEC), from Joel's
neck of the woods (Searcy), got him.

For us that was at least the 2nd contact.  We are all in his online ClubLog
logbook, so when he gets home and sets up OQRS on Clublog, we can order
cards and LoTW.   Or just wait for 6 months for his free LoTW upload.  I
tend to donate to the DXP (especially ATNO's like this) to get the nice
cards and upload them before something happens to his log (or him) and I
lose it all together.

Also Saturday morning, I got another new Grid Square on my FFMA quest.
After he uploads  when he gets home, it'll only need 16 more for the magic
number of 488.  Yesterday, we tried FT8, Q65, MSK144 and back to FT8 which
turned out to be the successful mode for our distance and conditions.  The
6m band is just starting to come alive, hopefully better than last year,
which was a real bummer.  2 years ago, I knocked out about 50 new GS in
just a few months.
