Thanks gang!

It was sure a surprise to me.  I'm seldom blindsided.

This bit about LoTW also came out of the board meeting:   <

Just wanted to advise everyone that in the last few evenings I've received
FT8 signals from OMAN from 3 different callsigns.  I managed to work one,
A41ZZ.
He has a 4 ele Yagi on 20m.

I worked him with my 43 foot vertical... although I did break my own rule
of never going above 30 watts.. I walked up to 60 or 70 watts.  He
apparently watched me calling the other Oman stations unsuccessfully and he
called me!

Good luck, have fun!

I?ll certainly write my representatives to tell them that I think this is a very poor idea and why I think that.

Well, I got to checking my log and doing a little research about TX5T...
This is the same group that was on in February of 2017 from the same place
with the same call... Strange... I worked them on 8 bands then, all CW.
Think I would be going somewhere different, but as the kids would say,
whatever...

Good luck if you need them on any band/mode. I worked them 3 times yesterday
evening/this morning before I realized I already worked them 2 years ago...
Good CW ops...

============================
I was able to work this current Austral TX5T operation on both 20m and 
17m within a half hour of each other CW last night Central Time -- (i.e. 
approx 0200 UTC Aug 16, 2018).

I looked back in my log and found that I worked TX5T before way back in 
September 2006. According to my log, the Sept 2006 QSO was on CW mode 
and the QTH was Mayotte. So I checked my LOTW account and sure enough I 
have an LOTW QSL from that 2006 QSO from TX5T on Mayotte.

It is confusing when the same callsign is on various countries at 
different times.

Mark your calendars! Clear you appointment schedule! The Annual OKDXA 
Fall Banquet has been set for Saturday, the 20th of October. Having 
learned my lesson, this is NOT the CQWW SSB contest weekend.

We will have roast beef, fried catfish, and fried chicken complete with 
veggies and dessert. Start time is 1800 CST (0000 UTC 21 October) at the 
Cattle Country Lodge, 1200 N 8th Ave, Stroud, OK, 74079-4751 
(918-968-9515). I expect the cost to be $20 per person, but this hasn't 
been finally determined.

Please RSVP to me, at cw_de_n5op at sbcglobal.net, and please invite others 
to come. Especially non-members!

I'm looking for a program for the evening: if you have program ideas, 
please contact me as soon as you can so we can collect whatever 
equipment we might need.

73,

Judy and I have it on our calendar.  We will be in Colorado at the time but
we are going to come back just to make the banquet.  That's the plan anyway.
