[HCDX] MW loggings & QSLs from Craig Edwards, North Queensland, Australia

["Craig Edwards" <nutritionandsports@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys



Well I've been pretty busy up here in Townsville while the wife has been out of town finalising our families move to Queensland. Nothing but work, DX, drinking beer, eating junk food and watching football on TV. Basically whenever it's been dark (0800 - 2000 UTC) I've been DXing or sleeping!
