Thanks Pat. I have been trying to outdo John (WB5BHS - The FT8 stalker) for some time. But he has the advantage of NEVER SLEEPING, I on the other hand, need my "beauty rest".

Joel's chart on WAS showed 1,500+ that have achieved WAS on 6m. Needing only AK and HI, I have had an occasional printing from both, but I have yet to work them on any mode. As Joel said, maybe Q65 or JT65 EME might be my best attempt to get them. John (BHS) uses his 40m dipole for 6m and has consistent great results. My 5 element beam has its work cut out once conditions improve a bit more on 6m to beat John to the WAS board.

I want to thank ADXA for the 3rd place DX Engineering Gift Card. I'm sure I will have to add a bunch to that to get to my next toy.

It was great to get timely reports from three ARRL representatives that all come from our organization. And of course, insight from Joel as a Past President of ARRL. I don't know if any other club, around the country, that can call on such a group of spokesmen for amater radio as one of our family.

George, WB5JJJ, has provided updated DXCC standing information. He has been busy working ATNOs and new bands/modes. Geoge raised his digital count to 227 and added band multipliers from 160 to 6M. His Desoto Challenge mark is now at 1275….and increase of 123 over his previous update. He has been taking full advantage of improved conditions. Great progress George.

Enjoyed seeing everyone at the meeting yesterday.

73 es DX,
Pat, W5VY
