[OKDXA] I made it in the logs

Guys:

I was doubtful that I had made it into the logs last night on 40 meters but
when I did a search I had one of my two contacts.  It does not have the mode
so I do not know if it is the phone or CW contact.  I will try to work them
again on phone and CW just to make sure I have them both.  I have them
confirmed on 15 meter phone and I could use some band fills.  I could barely
hear them on 75 and 80 meters last night and it was not worth trying to beat
out the east coast wall to work them.  I could not have heard them come back
to me clearly on those bands.  Forty meters was bad enough with all of the
frequency police.  It made it very difficult to work them because everyone
was covering them up when they came back to you.

I noticed several guys around Mississippi and Oklahoma have worked them.
Guys like N5OK, K8FU, K5VV, N5UE, K2FF, K5YG, KE5K, W5XX, and others.
Congratulations on the contacts.  Last night was my first chance to try and
work them so I will have limited time to work them.  The VU7RG boys are
coming up later this month and there is a group going to Spratly Island
February 1-14.  There is lots of great DX coming up.  Good Hunting!

73,
