       Since big Pete K40M worked a JA from WV on 6M it became goal of many in the WVDXA to strive for that achievement.  

        In fact he had a badge made that he sported everywhere he went that read 
" I worked a JA on 6M ". 
        Well that  caught on among the 6M chasers in the WVDXA. 

          After that anyone who worked  JA on 6Ms was awarded a badge .


           Well tonight Bob W8RLG who lives in Scott Depot/ TeaysValley worked several JAs on 6M using a 6 M Jpole. Anyone that knows W8RLG , knows any antenna Bob puts in service has been tuned to most efficiency. 

            Bob , this is a awesome achievement.  Big  Congratulations to you !

          Time to get you a I worked A JA badge.

WAY TO GO, Bob!  OUTSTANDING!!!

You definitely deserve a badge!  I was on 6-M for 52 years before I worked my first JA.  It was June 29, 2018, when I snagged my 1st Japan.  That was my 111th Country on the band.

Eight years ago we had a WVDXA meeting were several "I Worked JAPAN on 6-M" badges were distributed.  Click on the photo of Charlie, N8RR, to see the badge close-up.

Or, just look at the badge here:




That's a BIG accomplishment for you!  CONGRATULATIONS!


73, Clark, W8TN
