[ADXA] XX9W FT8 ATNO!

[Steven Rutledge]

Congrats on ATNO.  Way to go.  I have XX9 confirmed only two bands.  I 
have not heard them yet and I have been diligently listening.  
Unfortunately, I leave tomorrow for a week in C6.  I don't think I'm 
going to get any band countries from them or the C2.

Good luck to all.

Steve, N4JQQ
