I heard you in there chasing at least once.  I don’t remember how strong you were, but it might have been possible to work if I’d hung around a frequency long enough to hear you call.   

I would take care of other things, run out to the shack, check for SSB and CW, and then go from 10 and down on FT8.  I’d monitor for just several sequences, and after working anything I needed, go down to the next band.  I’m sure I missed out on a lot that I needed.   

You did very well - congratulations!

73,
Dennis/RZ

I was just  kidding. I heard you on, I think 15 or 17, and called one time. It would be a hard contact to you from here on the loop. It was a fun contest. I know if you would have heard me, you would have replied!

Randy,

I heard you one time, but never copied you calling me.  I was jumping around the bands, though.  I’m so forgetful that I worked a W and a VE right at first so that was taken care of!  

73,
Dennis

I’ve been hammering off and on. It is a brutal contest. I’m pretty sure when I called RZ, he intentionally didn’t answer to keep me from getting the US. Randy/ W5ZJ

That’s interesting that I’m on the list for 6 Q’s because I’ve been in football mode last night and today and have NOT made any QSO’s in 2025 !!!!

Club Log under the DXCC Leagues tab on left...Pick ADXA club and filter for 2025...It's been updating about once every hour so it's fairly current...Of course that's only members that are logging on the run...I'm sure there will be a couple of sleepers that upload late and jump everyone...Deborah KI5QQG is right behind me with their new humungous tower...Someone probably needs to run and check on Charles KF5TL and make sure she doesn't have him tied up in the cellar so she can have the radio to herself Emoji

That is great, Dennis.  You should have said you had 90 countries last night.  Everyone would have quit.   What we need is a live scoreboard so everyone can see where everyone is and create some excitement.
You probably know who is trying from a pileup or two.  Wonder how many are giving it a big effort?

That’s a strategic game plan I don’t believe I would have revealed because a lot of folks just flat forget the “real easy ones” !!!!!!   😊

By the way, I am going to get on some and call CQ for anyone who needs ZF.  I worked maybe three of the ADXA people.  I am not going to enter.  I would feel bad if I won and even worse if I lost.
