Not “DX” as we know it here with ADXA but tonight was a special, early, Christmas present.

After I completed WAS on 222 MHz two years ago I began to focus on completing 432 MHz WAS. I was on 432 EME back in the early ‘90s and when I stopped I had worked everyone on the band at the time and had 36 states in the log either on tropo or EME. I fired back up on 432 EME a couple of months ago with a mission to complete WAS on that band. I had already worked KL7HFQ in Alaska back in the 90’s but the difficult one now would be KH6 in Hawaii. Tom, NH6Y, who I worked on 222 for my 50^th state is now on 432 EME with 2xFO25 antennas and 500 watts. We ran tonight and after about 45 minutes finally completed for state # 42 !!!!

Time to celebrate, but just for a short while as I’m on VU4 160 meter watch !!!!!!
