[OKDXA] Missed ZD7

[Kim Elmore]

I didn't have time to to play in the AA contest, though many of what I 
need are Asia. For example I saw lots of spots of HS, but could never 
hear them and HS would be an ATNO for me.

Then, on a lark, I started tuning around 10 m. Ya never know... And I 
hear a ZD7 that's NOT in the contest. That one would be an ATNO for me, 
too! They were plenty strong so I called using only 100 W. Nothing. I 
fired up the amp and by the time that was done, they were fading fast. 
Even with 1500 W, no joy. I suppose that'll teach me not to mess around. 
Sigh.

73,
