I've had several "snoozers" message me saying pretty much the same thing.  Wife had them watching a movie and such.  Whatever floats HER boat -- WINS !!!!!  Always.  

I was about to shut down for the night and was just doing some "housekeeping" preparing to install latest JTAlert when they broke in.  Now the 10BWAS is in the books.  I've got many awards now, I can't hardly keep track of them.  Still missing DXCC on 160m (only 14 due to lousy antenna), 80m (only 80 due to lazy op) and 6m (only 66 due to --- well propagation mostly), and at least one DXCC on the other bands, 3 have 2.  As for 6m grids, I've got over 610 of them confirmed so far.  

Just got another GS confirmed for FFMA.  Now at 449 with just 39 (some will be almost impossible) to go.  
I'll have an update to the ADXA spreadsheet when I get 11 more Challenge Points.

Congratulations George!  Quite an accomplishment.  Joel has given us the recipe for WAS on 222.

 

I had my beam pointed at about 325 but missed the opening.  I was watching a movie with Sunnye….my YL…she says she is not an “XYL”!   Came into the shack about 10 minutes after NL7S faded.  KL7HBK and NL7S were in for almost 45 minutes here.  If you snooze you loose!   Next time!

WAS on all bands now completed from 160m thru 6m.  Actually worked TWO ALASKA stations on 6m FT8 back to back in 5 minutes to seal the effort.  One just popped up and I called him about 5 times and bang, bang, it was done.  About 4 minutes later, I called a second station twice and bang, bang again.  And yes, their Grids were BO49 and BP51, not some long lost transplant to California or Florida.
