[OKDXA] Rare Grid on 6 meters

[Jeff Martin]

Thanks Coy and John. Several years ago I ran out of countries to work so I
decided to try working all 488 U.S. grids on 6 meters for the FFMA award.
FN57 in Maine was #488. I received confirmation yesterday from ARRL that I
qualify for FFMA # 15. While it's not DX in the traditional sense, it has
been a challenge to work them all and I am happy to get it done... 

73,
Jeff - K5WE

Congratulations Jeff!  I knew you were close but didn't know that it was
active.  Haven't heard N4EME on today.
