[SADXA] Summer Fun Activity

[Jim Henderson]

    That's peachy, Wes. Congrats

    I did better this year, got all 13, and in just over 10 hours. But I 
kept missing the 'bonus' station WM3PEN.

    I started early today to hunt for it, and was disappointed to see the K 
index once again go up to 4 or more (and again on a weekend).

    After seeing spots for them on 28 cW  and 21 SSB, and hearing only 
static, I was very surprised to hear them come out of the noise on a peak, 
on 14 SSB. More surprised when they answered.

    I listened to several QSOs after I made mine, and most of them also said 
'thanks for #14".

    SO it seems like a lot of fun for all the foxes as well as the hounds 
this year.

    Will be interesting to see how our Arizona amigos fared.

    "Lotsafun".

Once I started, I got 12 of them plus the bonus in fewer than 24 hours.  It 
took almost another 24 hours to even hear K2B.  Once I did, he was worked in 
short order.

Funny how the two most populous states were the hardest to get, unless of 
course you were working 40-meters from the east coast.
