Neil Sedaka sang Breaking Up Is Hard To Do, but in your case Catching up is Hard to Do . . . but it's worth it. I've been on FT8, LoTW and QRZ Logging for only a little over three years; they have put me back in DX pursuit like the 70's and 80's, but with ease!

Ken and I discovered we go way back when we met at my first ADXA meeting in June 2019 at Hot Springs. He mailed me my old QSL which had been thumbtacked on his wall! I was 16 and he 18!

Subject: [ADXA] New Member Standings for Ken, K5ALQ

Ken, K5ALQ, has provided updated DXCC standings information. He recently completed the set-up to use LOTW and has been going through the process of getting QSO data in paper logs input into his logging program and uploaded to LOTW. Ken says his "match" rate isn't as high as he had hoped on some of the older QSOs.

Ken is up to 338 on Mixed Honor Roll and has added band counters across the board. Ken still has more work to do with his paper logs and a few paper QSLs to submit. Nice progress Ken.

73,
