[SFDXA] Other Good News

[Randy Shirley]

Howdy DXers,

Episode 2... Sunday .. the next day with a working antenna!

I got up Sunday and I had my DXBase logging software running in the 
background while took care of other chores. The software is set up as to 
only alert me when a spot comes in for a new band country for me.  
Additionally, I have filters on the node so that I only get spots from 
North America. (I could care less that a new band country is being heard 
in Japan, as an example.)  The computer went crazy with alerts when 3B7M 
started being heard in the USA on 10 metes, which is a new band country 
for me and I knew that 3B6 was an ATNO for K4FK!   I thought, oh well.. 
the band will probably close before I can get to the club station.  I 
was wrong. I looked at VOACAP and got this:


Wow!  The bands, 10-20 meters, was projected to be open to 3B7 pretty 
much all day!

I packed up and headed to the station and arrived around 10 AM.

Conditions were good!  I was able to work them on 10 and 12 meters for 
myself for new band countries and I was able to work them on all 3 modes 
and 4 bands for K4FK.  I left around 5.  It was a good day!  Now for 
FT8WW, but he never shows up until late in our evening.

73,
Randy N4QV
