Well, the weekend is over and I fell short of my goal of 200,000 points in the RTTY contest. I still had just over 2 hours of legal operation time, but elected to nap more often than I should have. I did NOT pick up any new DXCC and after about the first day, I was having trouble finding stations that I had not worked on the same band. Still I had 405 contacts and over 185,000 points. That pales in comparison to local hard-line RTTYers like John (BHS) and Charles (CS), but I keep trying. It's amazing, but not really, at the stroke of 0000 GMT, the bands went DEAD. And I mean like they were turned off by some master switch. My logs are submitted and uploaded to LoTW, some even already verified.
On to real ADXA news, I finally broke my hangup at 268 DXCC last week with Sri Lanka on 15m FT8. He uploaded 2 or 3 times since we worked, but no confirmation on LoTW. So I sent him an email and he said it was "now" uploaded. Don't know what the "now" meant, but anyway it's there. Happy camper here. It's been over a year that I've been stuck without an ATNO.
