Some folks here may be well aware that I lack just Hawaii for the LOTW Triple Play award, Hawaii via a digital mode. I have worked several Hawaii stations via digital modes of late but none of them have been LOTW active. Today I see a Hawaii station NH7RS is interested in ALE and is LOTW active ( "Last upload for NH7RS: 2009-07-31 19:50:04Z" ).
Readers of this email group may also be familiar with my lament that ALE is not as widely used as I think it should, and how ALE scanning and database building is the ultimate method for finding possible open paths to a needed entity. So, it seems to me that I can now combine my fruitless quest for Hawaii digital and my advocacy of ALE . If I can assist NH7RS get his station ALE active, my argument will be that linking with him should be a piece of cake. That is the challenge, I will let you know how we do. Andy K3UK
