[SADXA] TN8K

I'm totally frustrated.  He was on 20 meter RTTY again, this time with a good 
signal.  Calling for NA without a lot of callers and yet he didn't work me 
before announcing he was going back to FT8  Grrr.

Got them on 20 slots so far, despite not sitting in front of the radio 24/7.

FT8WW is QRT.  His permission to operate expired today. Hopefully, since he 
didn't appear to disturb the science projects, he may get reinstated.  But then 
he's dealing with the French government, which if it's anything like ours, will 
say no.
