I'm madder than a wet hen about this. I was in the house, laid back in the recliner in my broadcast uniform when Mike texted. I had the rig set on 80 so I could work 80 only from my reliner without the ability to change bands on the amp or retune the antenna remotely. After about 3 text messages. Mike texted me and said get up and get those shoes on and go work him. LOL!

To make a long story even longer, I put my shoes on and went out and worked him.

Thanks Mike. You've helped me work a whole bunch of DX that I would have never worked.

Glad to help, saw several ADXA folks work him on 15. The P29YY DXpedition is an ATNO for me but 15m was my second contact with him. I had been watching him on 15 a while.

Been seeing where he has AC power issues during the daytime, sometimes he will TX then dissappear for a while then return. Hopefully I can catch him on more bands.

For a 1 man operation he has been really active and he confirms on LOTW. I thought he was confirming on QRZ but he showed up there after making QRZ sync with LOTW.
