Congrats Ron! ----------------- I can relate to your excitement although it is some 30 years since I did my first 5BDXCC. The second was from OZ8RO.
For whatever reason when I lived in Illinois I just never got down on 75/80 to work DX. I guess I was under that common mis-conception that there wasn't any DX on that band and that my meesly antenna wouldn't be competitive. ------------------ With good propagation you get pleasant surprises ! If you need JW, I will be going up again for 5 days beginnig of March. 73 es good hunting Rag Otterstad LA5HE also JW5HE OZ8RO located in Telemark - home of skiing. My antenna "farm" can be found on HTTP://no.photos.yahoo.com/la5he when you click on Radio.
