[SADXA] DX report.

[Alan Komenski]

Good update.  Thanks.  There was an excellent opening to EU yesterday mid afternoon.  Nice surprise to get a half dozen or so in the log at that time of day on 20.  17m was good today.

Unfortunately, although I worked everything I heard, I never heard 100 countries on 20 and came up far short of the goal; working only 81.

So a phone DXCC in a weekend.  There were even a few semi-rare prefixes; 4O, 4X, E7 (40-meters), ER, JT, HB0 and V8.
