[LCC] [DDXA] ARRLDX CW W5RU(@KN5O) M/2 HP

[Chip Tilton]

Good job guys -- congrats on the effort!

I was on call this weekend but managed to get some quality time in and picked up 9 all time new CW's and 4 more that I had previously but had been having difficulty getting QSL'd. 2 of those 4 QSL'd on LotW just hours after the contest closed!! The highlight, thanks to a timely alert by Randy, was snagging Ethiopia, ET3AA. Altogether a productive show and a special thanks to the women in labor who were slow enough to let the DX magic work.

Chip, K5RSG
