[ADXA] XX9W FT8 ATNO!

[rcurt at centurytel.net]

Congratulations on the ATNO, and a great story as well. I hope to work them for a digital confirmation at some point. I have only heard them once. It may have been on 30 as well.

Got several alerts this morning spotting XX9W on 30 meters so I crawled 
out of bed to try to work them.  When I got to the shack I found CY0S 
already working that band.  After a few expletives I then got an alert 
for 20 meters.  Tuned up on 14.096 long path and heard a very faint 
signal...IT WAS THEM CALLING CQ!  Took 3 tries but put them in the log 
with a -24 just before 7:00AM local time. Within just a couple of 
minutes they were gone.  Checked the livestream & I was in there.  I 
also noticed the JA wall went up almost immediately after my contact so 
I guess you have to be lucky and catch them as they start a new band 
operation.

-Charles, K5CS
