Folks, In my report, I had failed to report the top scorers in Americas DX category. With apologies to them (I'm still po'd about John deleting Mr. Magubwe's Nigerian economic opportunity and notice of the Irish Sweepstakes winnings. It deprived me of an Oprah moment with an opportunity to pass untold riches on to the top scorers. Blame him, not me. ), here are their scores:
In the Americas DX category, John Bryant of Stillwater, OK, was top scorer with 12,334 km in the Unlimited Class, and he logged the following stations: 570 Radio Reloj, CMDC Santa Clara, Cuba 2245 km; 670 R. Rebelde, CMQ, Ciudad Habana, Cuba 2018 km; 710 R. Rebelde, CMW, La Julia, La Habana, Cuba 2052 km; R. Rebelde, CMBA, Villa Maria, La H. , Cuba 2017 km and 800 TransWorldR, PJB, Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles 3912 km. In the Americas DX category, Barefoot Class, Rob Ross of London, Ontario, was top scorer with 17,502 km and logged the following: 750 Radio Caracas YVKS Caracas, Venezuela 3863 km; 800 PJB3 TWR Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles 3649 km; 1060 XEEP Mexico City, Mexico 3108 km; 810 Caracol HJCY Bogota, Colombia 4313 km; 530 Radio Vision Cristiana Grand Turk, Turks/Caicos 2569 km. These catches by John and Rob are noteworthy because of their landlocked locations, demonstrating that great DXing into Latin America can be had with simple equipment from non-coastal areas of North America. 73 Gil _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
