May Low Band Update

Top Band has effectively petered out to nil for ATNOs on the band.  I did manage to work TG9ADQ Guatemala on 160m-JT65 and immediately was confirmed in LOTW.  But 80m is still going - not gang busters as in February but a steady drip.  As far as highlights go on 80m:

The following DXpeditions were worked
E31A - Eritrea worked on 80m CW
HB9MFM - Switzerland worked with JT65 waiting LOTW
D44TWO- Cape Verde Islands - JT65  confirmed  LOTW
J5B- Guinea Bissau - OQRS - confirmed in LOTW
S79S  Seychelles - OQRS
TZ4AM Mali - confirmed in LOTW
GI4DOH Northern Ireland - confirmed in LOTW
5V7P-Togo - confirmed in LOTW
A25UK- Botswana - OQRS - confirmed in LOTW
FS/K9EL -Saint Martin - confirmed in LOTW

Confirmed count on 80m now up to 145.  I just received my 125 sticker in the mail from the ARRL.
